NBS Alumnus
"You were such an incredibly important part of my musical journey, and I genuinely would not be where I am now without NBS. All of the lessons, performance classes, music camp, chamber opportunities, concerts, and competitions...so many nourishing and demanding musical experiences that supported my musical growth and have led me here. NBS supported me with additional lessons while I was at Juilliard, and again with lessons after I stopped pre-college. After all of that, I ended up returning to my pre-college teacher at the end of high school, and I don't think I ever thanked you properly:( It feels like my musical journey has been all over the place, but NBS really supported me through all of it as I was growing up."
-Erica Clarke
