For Our Youngest Musicians
Hands-on demo classes offer an engaging introduction for beginners and developing musicians. Through activities drawn from our Early Childhood and Contemporary Musical Arts programs, students will explore foundational skills in rhythm, listening, creativity, and collaboration.

Choral Spotlight
Discover our choral pathway for singers of all levels, focused on vocal technique, music literacy, and ensemble artistry. Learn more about the new BSO × NEC Honors Children’s Choir through an audition workshop and info session.

For Musicians at Every Stage
Observe real classes, rehearsals, and performances across the school. Experience how Expanded Education encourages students to grow both as musicians and individuals  through guided instruction and collaborative learning. We will have pop-up performances in our common area programmed all day long!

A detailed schedule will be shared closer to the event, with opportunities to build your own experience throughout the day. We look forward to welcoming you to the NEC Expanded Education community!
