The New School of Music (NSM) was founded in 1976 by composer, conductor, and musician Nicholas Van Slyck who identified a need in the area for access to high-quality music education and engagement in his city of Cambridge. Today NSM remains an inclusive community music school for children and adults of all ages and levels. We believe music is to be enjoyed, studied, loved, and understood by all people — regardless of age, ability, or prior experience — and offer generous need-based scholarships in support of this mission.
