Embrace Musical Mastery:
the ANMS Emerging Artists Program
For over a century, All Newton Music School has been a home for ambitious young musicians. In this spirit, we are excited to invite you to join the ANMS Emerging Artists Program. This initiative is tailor-made for our dedicated school-aged students who are excited to push the boundaries of their musical capabilities.
Emerging Artists is a free program designed to supplement private lessons for school-age students. It provides a framework of goals to help students pace their musical development. Students’ instructors place each student into a tier that aligns with their skills and goals: Prelude, Sonata, Concerto, and Symphony. Each tier represents a benchmark to help ensure that the student has a well-rounded foundation of scales, etudes, and solo pieces. These fundamentals likely overlap with what students are already learning in lessons. The program emphasizes the importance of developing active listening skills by requiring students to attend an ANMS concert, along with a pre-concert lecture called "What to Listen For" (free tickets provided for EA students and families). Performing is an integral part of a musical education, so EA students must also perform in at least one recital in addition to Music in May.
Registration for the 2025-2026 Emerging Artists Program is now open on a rolling basis.
