NATCHITOCHES — The NSU Music Academy is accepting students for the Fall 2024 semester. 

The academy is under the direction of Northwestern State music faculty Dr. John Price and Dr. Francis Yang and offers piano, guitar, percussion and voice lessons for students from age six to adults. Lessons are taught face to face or online. Teachers at the academy are graduate and undergraduate music students studying at Northwestern State.

Last semester, students performed in an end-of-semester Spring Recital in Magale Recital Hall. Many students also participated in the NSU Music Festival held in March, where they could play for judges and participate in an honors recital. This upcoming semester students will have the opportunity to perform in a Monster Concert for Halloween and a Christmas Concert. Students in past years also took part in the National Federation of Music Clubs Festival, the Central Music Teachers’ Association Sonatina Festival and the Louisiana Music Teachers Association Upper Elementary Auditions.

Fall lessons begin the week of August 25. To enroll or seek further information please visit www.nsula.edu/musicacademy. Any additional questions can be sent to Yang at yangf@nsula.edu or Price at pricejo@nsula.edu.
