EARLY DEVELOPMENT
From 2.5 to 5 Years Old
'“The New Music School Early Development program fills young children with the joy of music. The Early Development faculty members make each lesson exceptionally engaging and enjoyable. Our lessons at NMS have been one of the primary highlights of our little one’s week and we highly recommend the program to begin building a strong musical foundation! We rate it five stars, from our family to yours.”

We Believe
At NMS, we believe a child’s private lesson journey can begin earlier than most imagine. While many music schools do not offer private lessons for children as young as three, our Early Development Program provides age-appropriate, individualized instruction designed specifically for young learners.
Our lessons are joyful and engaging - yet serious in purpose. We nurture curiosity, creativity, and confidence while laying a strong musical foundation from the very start. -

The Benefits of Starting Early
Research shows that early music education supports meaningful cognitive and social growth. Children who study music demonstrate:
Stronger memory
Expanded vocabulary
Higher reading levels over time
Enhanced communication skills
Greater self-regulation, discipline, and focus
Increased motivation and ambition
Music training strengthens neural pathways during critical developmental years. Beginning at age three builds not only musical ability, but lifelong learning habits.
