Megan Lavell, one our Autistic Students, performs at a Nashville Library.

April is Autism Awareness Month

Nashville Music Academy has always been very grateful to serve the Autism community. Our students on the spectrum always inspire us. No two individuals with Autism are the same and neither are their gifts and abilities (which are many). Music lessons for any age and every ability has been our motto since we first started NMA in 2015. In those 10 years, we have helped many adults and children with Autism realize their talents and musical aptitudes. Our recitals showcase the bravery and hard work of our students and are always tremendously inspiring for everyone involved. So it was no surprise when we came across this CBS segment about inspiring individuals with Autism and had to share.

Watch is HERE. If you would like to know more about our programs and lessons, please give us a call/text at Nashville Music Academy at 615-521-1937, or email us.
