Music Education Partnerships Manager

About Moore Music & NEMC

Moore Music, part of Ensemble Performing Arts, has been a trusted source for everything musical in Greensboro since 1938, making it one of the county's longest continuously operating businesses. Moore Music serves beginning through advanced band and orchestra students with instrument rentals, private lessons, and a wide selection of high-quality musical instruments. Our instruments are carefully set up for optimal playability by an in-house team of skilled repair and service professionals.

NEMC (National Educational Music Company), also part of Ensemble Performing Arts, supports school music programs nationwide through a network of affiliate dealers and company-owned locations. NEMC provides students with access to instruments through rental programs, along with the service, repair, and ongoing support schools need to keep their music programs running and accessible.

Together, Moore Music and NEMC bring the resources of a national music education organization together with the relationships and expertise of a trusted local music store. We connect schools, music educators, families, local dealer partners, and lesson programs to help expand access to instruments, instruction, and the support students need to start—and stay—in music.
