GENE NASTRI COMMUNITY SCHOOL OF MUSIC
Due to a May 2022 decision by the City of Mukilteo based on city zoning regulations, we are not able to offer lessons at our previous location. Since we have no other location options currently, we are happy to offer referrals to teachers that we know and can recommend. For more details, see our recent blog entries (under About Us) for June and July 2022.
Land acknowledgement
Gene Nastri Community School of the Arts acknowledges that we occupy the ancestral homelands of the Coast Salish Peoples, particularly the Snohomish, Stillaguamish and Tulalip Tribes who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial. We respect their rights as sovereign nations, accorded them in the Point Elliott Treaty, and we respect this place and honor the sacred spiritual connection to the land, water, and its people, past, present, and future.

Statement on Anti-Racism
As a community music school committed to equal access and opportunity for all students, we stand in solidarity with our black brothers and sisters to denounce the unjust and racist killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and countless others. We mourn for the many black Americans who have been targeted victims of violence and racial discrimination. We commit ourselves to addressing the inequities and biases in music education that disproportionately affect students of color. We realize this involves more than just making a statement, but involves examining our values and priorities as a school. Our goal is to ensure that every child has equal access to the benefits of music instruction. Music can bridge divides and unite people. As a community, we can also be inspired by the many artists of color who have led change and advocated for a more just and empathetic world, and commit to music being a medium for social transformation.
