 The Conservatory created its Music Partners Program in 1988 in order to enhance music education programs at public schools, child care centers, youth-based agencies, and adult and senior centers in Brooklyn and Queens. Today there areover thirtyprograms serving 4,500 children and adults. Each program is tailored to meet the specific needs of each school or organization.
Music Partners programming includes band, strings, chorus, world drumming and percussion, guitar, ukulele, recorder, and early childhood music and movement. Faculty members hold advanced degrees from the world’s finest universities and conservatories and are dedicated classroom educators.
Many of our students receive scholarships to attend the Conservatory’s Saturday Jazz Program and they work closely with the teachers to prepare for specialized NYC high school auditions. Our programs have been recognized and supported by national and local foundations including the Hearst Foundation, MetLife Creative Aging, and the Brooklyn Community Foundation.
