School History and Mission 

Founded in 2005, the New Mexico School of Music is home to over 750 students of all ages and musical abilities. Our facilities are specifically designed to create a quality learning atmosphere and include a recital hall, comfortable teaching rooms and a cozy waiting areas.

We strive to make the study of music engaging, fulfilling, and fun for our students while providing the highest level of instruction through a well-structured and comprehensive approach.  Our outstanding instructors are all university-trained artists who combine excitement, energy and new ideas with their exceptional teaching skills.

We want all of our students to come away from their lessons with a positive experience and love of music. Teaching music is much more than learning how to read notes or play a few pieces...it is an opportunity to expand students’ life skills: communication, creativity, patience, discipline, and self-confidence.

We provide opportunities for significant growth for students of all ages and levels.  Ample performing and learning opportunities exist for interested student including recitals, festivals, master classes and competitions.

We believe in introducing children to music at an early age, and our Music FunTime classes are great for children as young as 18 months.  During the summer we offer a variety of week-long camps and classes, including Guitar Marathon, Broadway Singers, a Music Day Camp, and Garage Band.  We also have an ongoing Chamber Orchestra group which meets year round.

Please call us for a tour of our facilities and to meet our faculty members.  We look forward to welcoming you to our musical family!
