String Lessons in Albuquerque
Performances and Assessments
New Mexico School of Music offers students many opportunities to share their music on concerts held throughout the year at the school and in the community and to participate in assessments and competitive events. Many teachers also hold their own studio classes and recitals. The Suzuki String Program, Cello Ensemble, and String Orchestra provide opportunities for students to make music with friends, learn ensemble skills, and grow as a team.
New Mexico School of Music is the only New Mexico school to offer the Royal Conservatory of Music (Canada) Music Development Program. This highly structured curriculum features graded repertoire, musicianship skills, and theory and history training. An annual exam is administered in order to receive a diploma and advance to the next level.
The New Mexico School of Music Performance Assessment Program allows students to play for a judge and receive comments, a grade, and a ribbon and certificate.
