In addition to classroom music and choral instruction, Nueva students can participate in our outstanding instrumental-music program. Nationally recognized professional musicians from around the Bay Area offer individual instruction on many musical instruments and disciplines, including violin, piano, guitar, flute, clarinet, saxophone, oboe, voice, cello, percussion, trumpet, composition, theory, and electric bass.

Student instrumentalists who demonstrate a high degree of musical potential, competency, and talent are eligible for the audition-based Menuhin-Dowling program, in which students can go deeper into the study and practice of classical music performance.
