Recognising Talent,
Rewarding Achievement

Welcome to the official website of the
North & Midlands School of Music

One of the great features of the NMSM is to encourage musicians to make the most of their talents and to have their achievements rewarded. Please note that the granting of diplomas can only be made to subscribing members of the School on completion of their chosen examination. Founded in 1992, we are an independent, self-funding organisation.
