It is the goal of the Nashua Community Music School to provide southern NH with a broad spectrum of learning, performing and listening opportunities in music and to provide vocal and instrumental lessons with the finest teachers available.At Nashua Community Music School we believe that learning and performing music is a valuable experience. Not only is learning music of innate value but it also instills discipline and learning techniques which can be applied to other school subjects such as math and literature. Equally important, is the enjoyment and satisfaction that listeners and performers experience through live music.
Our musical programs are geared to all ages and all experience levels. Our yearly schedule consists of three semesters, Fall, Spring and Summer. NCMS offers Ensembles and Workshops throughout the year.

I travel 35 minutes from Concord to Nashua for voice lessons at the Nashua Community Music School and have for four years because they are simply the best and worth it! As an adult student, I find the school a wonderfully supportive place where you're never too old to pursue a passion, with truly outstanding teachers. The school has also adapted beautifully to the pandemic and managed to make lessons via Zoom enjoyable and a welcome break from working from home. I cannot recommend NCMS enough to anyone.

We have two kids that have taken Harmony Road, choir and piano lessons at the school. They were very honest when my son was not well suited for music. They did not push it and insist that he continue when we realized his learning disability made it really uncomfortable to do lessons. On the other hand my daughter is interested in music and has taken many different types of lessons, classes and camps with them over the past four years. She has truly excelled and is enjoying music because of NCMS!
