Lessons in violin, viola, cello, piano, voice, flute and trumpet will be offered at the Henderson International School Campus on Saturday mornings. The instruction will be focused on individual lessons and development of each student at their own pace. Students in the program will have all the privileges of NSA students including working with visiting artists, clinicians, community performances and numerous opportunities to work with professional artist teachers.

Nevada School of the Arts‘ mission is to ignite a lifelong passion for the arts by inspiring, enlightening and nurturing an enduring appreciation of music. Nevada School of the Arts provides world-class instruction and a life changing experience to students of all ages and backgrounds for generations to come.

Nevada School of the Arts was chartered as an independent non-profit community arts school on July 7, 1977. The school, however, had earlier origins – first, as the Saturday Conservatory, which began as an outreach program of the Music Department at University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and also a highly successful summer arts camps at Mt. Charleston. The school continued to operate at the university’s facilities until 1991 when NSA administrative offices and main teaching center moved to the Paradise Elementary School campus. During the summer of 1994, NSA administrative offices and teaching staff moved to the campus of Las Vegas Academy of International Studies, Performing and Visual Arts in downtown Las Vegas. Due to ever growing demand for much needed space at the academy campus, NSA was forced to relocate to the Festivals Professional Business Park in the summer of 2004. With the endorsement and support of Mayor Oscar Goodman and Las Vegas City Council in 2008, Nevada School of the Arts became one of the resident organizations at the Historic Fifth Street School.

A 501(c)(3) organization, Nevada School of the Arts has been serving the Las Vegas Valley for almost forty years and is a member of National Guild for Community Arts Education.

NSA has provided world-class music instruction and life changing experiences to students of all ages and backgrounds. Over the years, more than 18,000 students have studied at NSA. Alumni often continue their work of excellence at well-known music institutions and universities
