Passionate owner, talented and encouraging instructor. Took remote voice lessons with Brandon Franko, talented, kind, great mix of drive and compassion. I’ve grown as a singer, in musical theory, and as an arranger of music. Fun recitals and all the goodies associated with live instruction and community in a virtual environment. Highly recommend NWSM.

NWSM is such a bright light for the community of music education. When other schools and businesses aim to make money any way they can, this amazing place clearly values the educational experience and comfort ability of the students over everything else, all while encouraging constant and consistent progress in their chosen concentration.

Northwest School of Music - Salem's reply

Thank you so much! At NWSM we strive to make sure education and inclusivity are priorities. I’m grateful you felt that as well!
