Music Teachers

Below is a listing of Nevada County music teachers known to us as of March 2011 (update coming soon!). Music in the Mountains provides this list not as an endorsement of the teachers, but as a starting point for those seeking instruction. They are listed in alphabetical order according to the instrument taught and then by last name. Those teaching more than one instrument are listed only once – for instance, clarinet teachers are found under “wind instruments”.
