Hello everyone! We are officially on break here at NSMA for the months of September and October. Lessons will resume with our same fall schedule on November 4th. I will be checking in with everyone at the end of this month/beginning of October to see how everyone is progressing with their assignments and Winter Holiday Recital songs. If you have any questions regarding lessons, scheduling, practicing, or the recital, please don’t hesitate to email me at any time. I will be doing my best to respond to emails within 24-48 hours during this time. Below are a few reminders:
