As summer draws to a close, I would like to reflect on some of the incredible experiences that the Brooklyn Music School recently offered to the community. 

Our Summer Music and Dance Institute returned once again, allowing hundreds of children the opportunity to receive programming in music, dance, and musical theater. Field trips, culminating performances, and new friendships filled the 6 weeks of programming.  A major highlight was welcoming multi-Grammy award winner Jon Batiste to the Playhouse for an afternoon of workshops with various BMS students of all ages. He ended the day by inviting those very students to sit in with him during a free concert for the community from the BMS Playhouse, a day none of us will ever forget.

Brooklyn Music School has also embarked on many new initiatives to improve, reorganize, and enhance our ability to deliver the best quality programming while keeping tuition rates well below market rate.  Looking on to the 2023-24 school year, the community can expect all of the same historic BMS programmatic offerings such as lessons, ensembles, group classes, and robust performance experiences.  In some more exciting news, BMS will also continue expanding its Music Therapy division after recently becoming an accredited institution.

This past school year also allowed me the pleasure of further developing our relationship with the acclaimed Ecole d'Art Musical in Paris, France. We are making strides to launch a student cultural exchange in the near future, an unprecedented opportunity for the students.

With so many new and creative initiatives in our upcoming planning, we are sure this will be the most exciting year at the Brooklyn Music School yet.  We can't wait to see you here!
