Dear ANMS Families, Students, and Community -

When you walk through our doors for a lesson, class, ensemble, concert, or to watch a loved one perform, you know there’s something special here. That feeling was built note by note, teacher by teacher, student by student, family by family for 114 years.

From our first five immigrant violin students in 1911 to today’s 1,100 learners of all ages exploring nearly every instrument and genre, ANMS has always been more than a school. It’s your community. And in a world where belonging feels rare, you belong here.

Yes, tuition helps keep our doors open, but what truly sustains us are folks like you, who believe in our mission of Music for All.

Music teaches us to do hard things, to connect without words, to support each other, to stumble and try again. It’s magic, and it changes lives.

Your support makes this possible.

Please consider a gift to ANMS and help your community of music and belonging continue to thrive.

With gratitude and joy,

Evan M. Haas
Executive Director
