About the provider
Bloomingdale School of Music says it has been a community music school that NYC families have trusted since 1964 and has been part of the local community for over 60 years. It serves over 800 students every week and offers need-based financial aid, scholarships, school and community partnerships across New York City, and community events and performances open to the community. Its mission is to provide open access to music education for all who wish to learn and grow, regardless of economic status, ability, ethnicity, or religion.
Need-based financial aid is available. A no-commitment free trial is offered for early childhood classes during the first week of each semester; a one-time paid trial may be possible during the semester depending on class availability and teacher approval.
What families say
“I can’t imagine what my life would be like if I had not come across Bloomingdale and received financial aid.” — Layton-Yang Z., Bloomingdale Student
“Having weekly lessons impacted my life so much. It didn’t make me afraid to try out new things. When I started ensemble classes a few years ago, it made me finally stop being shy and learn how to speak up for my opinion.” — Alison D., Bloomingdale Student
“We are a long time Bloomingdale School of Music family. Our older son started taking classes there when he was a baby. He’s 18 now and will be majoring in musical theater in the fall. Bloomingdale School of Music gave him his start!” — Mary A., Bloomingdale Parent
