Support 112 years of music education
Neighborhood Music School inspires minds and enriches community through music education through affordable private lessons, tuition-free ensembles, group classes, and opportunities to make music throughout LA County! You support ensures that we can keep our tuition low, our scholarship awards high, our teachers well compensated, and our community engaged!
NMS is growing- thanks to you!
Anchored in Boyle Heights, our NMS music instruction has more than doubled this year with residencies in Little Lake School District, Long Beach Unified School District, and (always home in Boyle Heights) PUENTE Learning Center. This growth means more students have access to music instruction, proper instruments, and opportunities to engage music as a core of growing up(at every age).
At home in Boyle Heights, we built and opened our Garden Stage that allows us to host recitals and concerts at our Boyle Heights home amongst the rose garden. We have also been bringing our music to the community with performances for the World Cup Watch Party at Mariachi Plaza, the Beverly Hills Festival, weekly Community Band and Latin Jazz Sessions at Art in the Park, to name a few! In school, we provide in-school and after-school programming at PUENTE Learning Center, John Tracy Center, Jackie Robinson Academy, Paddison elementary, and Lakeview Elementary.
Thank you for supporting our work, and making music with us! We are proud to have you in our Neighborhood Music School Family! And we have some BIG NEWS coming up! Neighborhood Music School will be launching a 2nd location in 2027! Official details are coming soon!
