Musical Arts Education for All
At NCMA, our mission is to make education in music and the arts accessible, affordable and inclusive.
Free Beginner Music Classes
These small group classes are intended to provide an introduction to music so that young people can get a taste of music and trial various instruments. Learn more about the different classes on offer and enquire about classes for your child.
Affordable Music Classes
Moving on from our free beginner classes? Small group classes are available for all ages & are great to enhance existing skills or to learn a new instrument. Classes have been designed to be an inclusive & affordable option for learning an instrument.
Performance Groups
