The Health & Physical Education program at NMMI is designed to enhance self-esteem, physical fitness, leadership characteristics, and the knowledge that leads to life-long physical fitness, dedication and health.
It is NMMI Music Department’s goal to develop the musical potential of our cadets—while providing ample opportunity for performance participation, academic growth, and the development of leadership skills. The Institute’s primary performing groups include:
NMMI offers private piano and guitar lessons, Music Appreciation and Music Theory (college only) classes, and extra-curricular clubs/ensembles for cadet string players and those interested in pop instrumental styles.
Cadets participating in our performing groups have the opportunity to serve as musical ambassadors for the Institute. Cadets have traveled from coast-to-coast performing at places like Disneyland, Six Flags, SeaWorld, New York City, and Washington, DC. And cadet music groups have visited all of the U.S. Service Academies—as well as many U.S. Military bases—and have performed for two presidential inaugurations.

I think the academics at NMMI have really prepared me for the Air Force Academy. I feel that it’s a very structured program. I have a year here where I can learn how to do stuff in a college environment. I actually feel more prepared coming here because then when I go to the Academy, I’ll know the right techniques to succeed.
