Welcome!
Welcome to NEC! Our community celebrates music-making of all kinds – we’re inspired by each other’s unique artistry, and celebrate each individual’s musical journey. The NEC family wouldn’t be complete without our students from Preparatory and Continuing Education, who bring talent, energy and joy to our campus every day.
To young musicians and your families, we invite you to consider making NEC Prep your musical home. To help you get to know our programs a little better, here are some answers to frequently asked questions. Of course, you are always welcome to contact our Preparatory School team members at 617-585-1160, or by emailing prep@necmusic.edu.
