Our
Faculty

True professionals.

New Music School's faculty represents a fantastic team of world-class musicians dedicated to our students' success. All of our faculty memebers are real-world professionals with life-long trajectories and permanent dedication to their instruments. We find this quality to be fundamental in a comprehensive music learning experience, and an invaluable resource to our students because it provides a wealth of first-hand opportunities and growth potential.

In addition, as part of our institutional philosophy of commitment to our students, all New Music School faculty members are fully available and fully reachable at any time for questions, follow-ups, tips, and more.

We invite you to take a closer look at our faculty members and learn more about each and all of them.
