What Students Are Saying

Students with no liberal arts credits will have to take up some liberal arts classes. You'll be studying and practicing a lot, it will pay off!
James from Milton, DE
Truthfully, in music, each player decides their own future success with the amount of work they put in; that being said, The NSJCM does an incredible job of enabling hard workers to be in expansive and rewarding musical settings. Core curriculum requirements consist of instrumental proficiency, music theory, ear training, history of jazz, classical, and world music, rhythmic analysis, sight reading, among a handful of other instrument specific requirements. The courses are challenging but not overly time-consuming, as a great emphasis is put on private study and taking advantage of the incredible Greenwich Village music scene.
