2011-2012 Notable-Musical Education Changes
Notable-Musical Education
September 2011
Welcome!
Located at the corner of West 75th Street and Eden Prairie Road, Notable-Musical Education provides musical experience for the whole family. The new year brings changes which include the addition of a complete vocal music program.
Musical Ventures & Notable Education Merge
In June, Notable Education negotiated the acquisition of Musical Ventures. The new name of our group is Notable-Musical Education. The merger of our programs gives both sets of clients access to a full range of vocal and instrumental lessons and numerous performing groups, including three groups touring internationally during the summer of 2012. The merger makes it practical to Move to a larger building which is located at 16200 West 75th Street. It is being remodeled to accommodate instructional rooms, practice rooms and rehearsal halls for all of the programs. Our former location at Excelsior and Eden Prairie Road now houses our administrative offices. Use the information below when you need to contact us.
