Nampa
Musicale is a music club based out of Nampa, Idaho. We are the local
club associated with the National Federation of Music Clubs (NFMC) and
Idaho Federation of Music Clubs (IFMC). We were founded and federated
in 1959.
Our yearly dues are $30.00 if paid by September, otherwise the fees are $35.00. This includes the National, State, and Local Dues. Members participating in the Festivals also need to purchase a subscription to the NFMC Junior Keynotes (about $6).
We host several events during our musical year, which follows the school
year:
We typically have a Fall Potluck luncheon in late-August to mid-September and a Founder's Day Luncheon in mid- January to early February. There may be a minimal charge for these events to help cover the costs of the meeting place and/or the food.

Nampa
Musicale participates in the Gold Cup program through NFMC. We host a
Gold Cup recital for teachers who would like their studio to
participate together. Students whom have earned a Gold Cup perform one
of their festival pieces for the recital. Also our Music Award winners
are asked to perform.
Occasionally we will host teacher workshops, business meetings, or host musical events for the community.
