Neighborhood Music School

Connecticut's Largest Community Arts School

Neighborhood Music School serves 2,400+ students of all ages in the Audubon Arts District with music, dance, drama, and film programming, plus an arts-integrated preschool and the ATLAS theatre-based middle school.

Drama and Film Department

Dedicated theatre faculty run year-round classes, ensembles, and summer programs alongside one-on-one coaching. Programs include:
- Drama & Film classes, ensembles, and programs
- One-on-one drama coaching lessons
- DELTA Program (accessibility across disciplines)
- Summer drama and film courses
- Audition prep opportunities
- Multi-discipline integration (drama + music + dance)

What's Included

• Audubon Arts District campus with multiple studios and performance spaces
• Dedicated theatre faculty (not music-teachers-doubling-as-drama)
• Direct I-91 access (Exit 3)
• Sliding-scale tuition and financial aid
• Cross-discipline scheduling - kids can layer drama with music or dance

Experience

The scale (2,400+ students) means the school has the faculty depth to support a real drama program rather than a token offering tacked onto music. The Audubon Arts District location concentrates several arts organizations within walking distance, which gives serious young performers easy access to multiple disciplines without commuting across town.
