Faculty information
A program is only as good as its teachers, and at NSM we have worked to find among the best in the business.
They come from active involvements in genres that span Western classical, church music, rock, jazz, funk, mainstream pop and even film music. All of them are experienced performers and have individual strengths across the many facets of music education, performance, recording, production, management and touring. Along with their excellent individual skills on their chosen instrument, each of our faculty has a proven ability to communicate musical concepts simply and effectively, to students at various levels. Though many of them have (and continue to play) with some of India's biggest bands and musical heavyweights, they share a strong commitment as pedagogues, to enrich your musical journey by pointing to successful shortcuts they have discovered, while turning you away from pitfalls and cul-de-sacs along the way.

"Jason's piano classes have always been really fun and entertaining. I really enjoyed them because you could choose whether you would like to learn classical piano or just learn to play the songs you love. He trains his students to sight-read and tests our hearing ability as well. Not only are the classes enjoyable but he is too. He is really calm and cool and fun to be around. It's a really important quality for a teacher because no kid would look forward to a dull or terrifying piano class. Each one of his classes shows me his endless joy for music and it motivates me to continue playing the piano and spreading the joy."
