North Valley Music School is the only non-profit, community music school in Montana. Located in beautiful Whitefish, we annually serve over 600 students of all ages through private lessons, early childhood music, performing ensembles, group classes, workshops and master classes. We also bring music to nearly 1,500 community members each year with our faculty and student concerts and community performances. In 2008-2009 we are celebrating our 11th year of enriching our community through musical education and performance. Our faculty of 15 offers private lessons in Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass, Electric Bass, Voice, Guitar, Electric Guitar, Mandolin, Banjo, Harp, Flute, and beginning band instruments. Scholarships are available for all ages. NVMS relies on donations and grants from individuals, businesses and foundations to keep our school running and provide an affordable, quality music education for all (see Support NVMS). NVMS is housed in a historic Whitefish building at 432 Spokane Avenue (Hwy 93), convenient to downtown and schools. We are a member of the National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts.

Summer Camps at NVMS

Guest Artist Camps

Summer Camps are here, and we offer something almost every week of the summer. Piano Camp (June 22-26) and Camp Festival Amadeus (July 26- 31) are our Featured Guest Artist camps this summer. We are happy to host Ken Christensen and the Bridger Quartet as our Guest Artists for these fantastic camps.

 

Music and Art Week

New this year, we are offering a week of Music and Art in conjunction with Stumptown Art Studio. Join us July 6-11 (Instrument Safari) for this exciting partnership. Your child can enjoy a full day of music and art instruction while you go play (or work). Register with NVMS for lunch care for the week (you provide their lunch) at $20 per child. Children will have lunch at the park and be walked to their afternoon class. Register with Stumptown Art Studio separately for the art portion of Music and Art Weeks.
