Music Schools International

At Music Schools International, our mission is to provide a well-rounded music education to individuals of all ages and skill levels. Founded in 2008, we have been committed to offering high-quality music programs that cater to the unique needs and interests of our students.

Our Story

Our journey began when Brian and Nicole Simmons, co-founders of Music Schools International, met with Rosalind Thrift, a renowned music educator from Australia. They were introduced to Rosalind's curriculum and system of teaching, which emphasized group music education courses for students starting from age 2 to adults. This perfect opportunity allowed them to bring music education to the area, ultimately forming the first U.S.-based affiliate of the International School of Music Australia.

At Music Schools International, we embody a set of core values that guide our approach to music education. We believe that:

• CONFIDENCE is the foundation to learning new things, and we focus on building this intangible yet powerful quality with each student.
