President's Message

On behalf of the Nutley Music Boosters Executive Board, I hope you and your family is safe and staying well. We welcome you all back to a new school year and hopeful for a year of outstanding music by all of our elementary, middle school and high school students!

Founded in 1967, the object of the Nutley Music Boosters Association (NMBA) is to arouse and maintain an enthusiastic interest in the various phases of the instrumental music programs of the Nutley Public School system and to lend all possible support, both moral and financial, to these music programs and student participants.  With the continued support of the Nutley community, for the 2019-2020 school year, we were able to raise over $23,000 for our instrumental music programs!

As a “Top 100 Community of Music Education”, our instrumental music programs provide a great learning experience to over 500 students from grades 3-12 in the Nutley Public School District.
