COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS: NEIGHBORHOOD ART AND MUSIC SCHOOL
Neighborhood Art and Music School (NAMS) was recognized with this year’s Building a Winning Team Best of Business Award. NAMS qualified for this award based on an “ecosystem” they have built that fosters and supports great team members, their encouragement and support for travel, new education and staff members, and their formula used for inspiring team members through regular communications.
The owner, Levi Bradford, began teaching at the school in 2010 and acquired the business in 2012. In the past five years, NAMS has been able to share the gift of music and art with thousands of students.
Mr. Bradford says, “Once you can empower your team members to understand the business is equally as much theirs as it is yours, you have unlocked the greatest asset to your organization — enthusiasm. Here at NAMS, our mission is to share the gift of music and art with others.”
We appreciate you sharing your talent with Frisco! Congratulations!

On Structure and Organization
Simple house rules
You have to first learn how to be a technician. (Do the work, play the music, create the art, make it happen)
You can then learn how to become a manager. (Teach the people, guide them, share the gift)
Finally, you can become the entrepreneur. (Cast the vision, change what’s possible, live and express freely)
On Leadership and Vision
People do their best work when they are most empowered. I once read about a high performing CEO at a fortune 50 company. If you walked around the office and asked the employees who was responsible for the recent success of the organization, they’d point to the big dog’s office. On the contrary, if you marched into the CEO’s office and asked him the same question, he’d point back out to the employees. The removal of self ego and the ability to admit you don’t have all the answers creates a culture where everyone feels involved. Once you can convince your staff members to feel like the business is equally as much theirs as it is yours, you have unlocked the greatest asset to your organization – enthusiasm. They say if you light it on fire, people will come for miles to watch it burn. This energy is infectious, and with it you can spread your message.
End of Semester Recital – June 4th
It’s always fulfilling to hear the student performances after a semester of hard work in lessons. If you’re around Rock 101 Grill Little Elm on June 4th for lunch, swing through and show some love!
