Performers are available in the greater NYC area, and beyond.
This program is organized by Manhattan School of Music’s Center for Music Entrepreneurship (CME). The CME is a key link between potential employers and the highly talented students and alums of Manhattan School of Music. Find out more here.

Manhattan School of Music’s Center for Music Entrepreneurship (CME) is excited to announce the launch of our Private Teacher Directory, a searchable database of currently active private teachers from the MSM community. The CME Private Teacher Directory can be found here:
Lessons arranged through this service would be taught either in the client’s home or at the teacher’s studio/home. Any lessons arranged through our Teacher Referral program will not be taught at the School and are not part of an official academic program. This service is not for those seeking to become students at Manhattan School of Music or to study with our College or Precollege faculty members.
Those seeking music instruction for non-beginner children might also be interested in the School’s prestigious Precollege Division, which offers a full day of lessons, ensembles, and classes for ages 5–18, accepted by audition.
To become part of the Musician and/or Teacher Referral rosters, MSM students and alums should click here for important details.
Please note: This service functions separately from School’s on-campus College and Precollege and those programs’ private instruction offerings.
Please feel free to email cme@msmnyc.edu or call 917-493-4502 if you need further assistance with the CME Private Teacher Directory.
