In the year 2000, a group of dedicated
Christian parents sat down with Mr. Don Dobrosky to formulate a music program
that met the needs of the home school community. After ten years of experience, NHME has
come to be recognized as one of the finest and most affordable homeschool
music instructional programs in the State of Michigan. Located in
Tecumseh and Ann Arbor, NHME provides bands at beginning, and advanced
levels, choir, percussion ensemble, and string instruction, although not all
classes are taught at all locations. NHME is a charter member of the Michigan
Homeschool Music Network which is the state organization providing services
such as Solo and Ensemble Festival, the Honors Band, Choir, and Orchestra in
Lansing each May. This past year we played with the wind
ensemble at the University of Akron in Akron, Ohio. Many of our
advanced players attained Honors Band status and performed at the INCH
conference in the Lansing Center last May. NHME had a number of students
participate in the second State Solo and Ensemble Festival held for
homeschool students at Spring Arbor College. NHME has a Band Camp each summer, the
third week in July, in Tecumseh, and this program has provided NHME students
with a large portion of the excellence to which the NHME program aspires. NHME is looking forward to another
productive year. Last year, the fee schedule was changed to reflect the
changes in the Michigan economy. This
reduction in fees resulted in a 50% increase in the number of students in the
NHME program. Come join us! Talk to the parents whose
children already are part of the NHME team. Ask those parents what music
instruction has done for their students. Let us share with you the many
advantages that only music instruction can provide to the learning
environment. Music is a core subject in any comprehensive educational
program. We invite you to give your children the finest, the gift of music.

NHME stands for excellence and strives to be
the finest music instruction program in southeast Michigan. We are proud
to serve the homeschool community in Lenawee and Washtenaw counties with a high
quality and comprehensive band program.
