NMI is one of the main reasons my 2 teenagers have blossomed into musicians these part 4 years. I will forever be thankful to Gregg, Dean and Danielle for all they have taught my kids about playing the guitar, singing and music theory! My whole immediate and extended family love this place!

This place is a real treat and would recommend for anyone seeking music lessons. The new building has a lovely sound stage and something like 20 individual rooms for private practice. They seem to be able to do lessons for a wide range of instruments (vocal, drums, piano, guitar, woodwind, brass, e.t.c.). Our daughter has taken both piano and guitar lessons here, with both teachers being very pleasant.
Her guitar teacher has been very understanding in our daughter's talent and had been pushing her to be better and better. I don't know all of the qualifications of the teachers, but her guitar teacher actually has a degree in music from University of Oklahoma. Again, nothing but positive things to say about this place and would recommend for both kids and adults looking for lessons.
