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.

  • Our Approach: Joyful & Purposeful

    NMS Early Development Private Lessons are:

    • Developmentally appropriate and personalized to each child

    • Structured to encourage focus, practice, and progress

    • Designed to build listening skills, rhythm, pitch recognition, coordination, and fine motor development

    Students build confidence, strengthen focus, and become comfortable performing—all while enjoying the process. Early music study nurtures discipline, focus, and a lifelong love of learning, creating a strong foundation for future musical growth and confidence.
