Student Picture Day

Every six months, NSM hosts a free Picture Day for students. Students, young and old, are invited to have their pictures taken with their instruments by a professional photographer. By offering this service we are celebrating our students’ music and sharing that memory with them through pictures. Please see the examples on this page!

Saturday Workshops

Missed a lesson? Out of town? No problem. Just sign up for a Saturday workshop. You can attend one that’s convenient for you.

Trophies, Certificates, and Award to Celebrate Achievement

We are the only music school in the Natomas area that gives their students the opportunity to earn special color wristbands (kids and teens love them!), trophies, and certificates for passing musical tests. Do other schools offer trophies and certificates? A few. But none of them inspire their students with smiling faces (see pictures to the right) by giving them full color, really cool “Musical Ladder” wristbands that they can show off to their friends.

More importantly, when our students have a test coming up, they practice more, their parents are proud, their teachers are proud, and everybody wins. You can only get the Musical Ladder here.

We also offer music lessons for adults. They can also participate in this awards program.

Early Afternoon Lessons for Homeschoolers, Retirees & More

Since we are the largest private music school in the Natomas area, we are able to be a “full service” music school. This allows us to offer lessons as early as 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, and 1 p.m. on Sunday. If you are a homeschool parent, retiree, college student, or working professional who has a flexible schedule, take advantage of our early afternoon lesson spots.
