New Song School Of The Arts

We are New Song
School of the Arts

In 1999, Lewisville, TX, one ambitious piano teacher just out of college and some cute little piano students founded New Song School of the Arts. Originally named New Song Piano Studio, through means of hard work, continued education, mentors, and word of mouth, we still have the courage to dream.

More than twenty years later, with an incredible staff and faculty of talented, highly educated, and gifted communicators, NSSOTA is continuing to EQUIP, ENRICH, and INSPIRE.

Vision Statement

Our dream is that people everywhere may experience the beauty of the Arts.

Mission Statement

We equip. 
We enrich.
We inspire.

Culture Commandments

  1. We guard integrity.
  2. We value “why” more than “what.”
  3. We make it better.
  4. We lead with questions.
  5. We lead by serving.
  6. We talk TO people, not ABOUT them.

When a company’s vision, mission, and culture are effectively implemented, they have a dynamic impact on the world around them and change lives.
