Is giving your children the gift of music an important
concern? Are you looking for a homeschool music program that is both
excellent and affordable? National Homeschool
Music Ensembles a 501-C3 non-profit has demonstrated for the last twelve
years the ability to provide such a musical experience-- literally a lifetime
skill of great benefit. You are
welcome to talk with parents already in the NHME program, and hear from them
about our music teaching excellence, and talk about the strides others have
made in NHME as they learn about music.
NHME stands with the national standards for education which proclaim
music a core subject. Why? Because the learning skills of application
and synthesis are taught in every class, and parents see their students
attain improved skills in math, reading, science, abstract thought, and
problem solving. Peruse the research
on music study, and your choice will be music education. Sports are often considered a better
beginning for adult life than music.
Why not both? NHME does not
discourage participation in sports; we do recommend that parents look
carefully at the information at hand to discover what a gift music can be for
their children. NHME is proud of its record of sending qualified students
to state Homeschool Honors Band, Honors Strings, and Honors Choir Students demonstrate
their ability to join with other great homeschool music students from all
over Michigan to play and share. This year NHME was part of the first
Michigan Homeschool Music Festival. NHME is proud of its students who have
gone on to college and earned scholarships based on their music. NHME is proud of its former students who
now play with adult ensembles.
Likewise, NHME is proud of its ten-year tradition of scheduling joint
rehearsals with college ensembles.
NHME is happy to be a member of the Michigan Home School Music
Network. the state homeschool music association which provides events such as
homeschool Solo and Ensemble, Honors Ensembles, and Homeschool Music
Festival. Our state association is currently working on a Michigan Homeschool
Youth Arts Festival NHME and the ten other homeschool music programs in
Michigan are providing a musical learning experience which is not and cannot
be duplicated in the public schools. Our experience at NHME shows that our
students typically play ahead of the curve.
Our advanced group is playing on an early college level. We are committed to teaching the
foundations of music theory, solfège, counting, and reading, while we pursue
musical excellence at all levels. I invite you to call or come in for a visit. NHME has its
String Camp at the Pittsfield Grange in Ann Arbor from June 3rd to
June 7th -- 9 am until 3:30 pm each day. NHME has Band Camp in Tecumseh July 15th
through the 19th -- 9 am until 3:30 pm each day. NHME would love to answer your questions! Email doby7777@gmail.com, or call
734-995-1205 or 517-423-4314. A short reminder: Because of the large number of students
now a part of the NHME program, it is difficult to sort out the details
(which instrument? where do I get an
instrument? which group?) for everyone
during the first two weeks of Sept.
Please contact us early if you are considering classes this year. Having everything in place for your student
when classes begin provides a smooth seamless experience for them as they
begin learning music with NHME.
