We are starting 2025 with a bang! We are bringing back some fan favorites, including: rock bands, songwriting, and musical theatre. All programs are for six weeks for 1 1/2 hours, and some include a final performance. If you are interested in any of the following programs, please read more information down below!

Music Together is an early childhood music and movement program for children from birth through age five—and the grownups who love them! First offered in 1987, their music classes help little ones develop their innate musicality—and much, much more. Their early childhood music curriculum has decades of research behind it, in both music education and child development. And because they recognize that children learn through play, everything done in class is engaging and fun!

​

Our very own Casie Ramesh became certified to teach for the Music Together program in 2024, meaning we can now offer this class here at NYSM! We'll be hosting Music Together classes Mondays at 10am and Thursdays at 1pm. Sign up online here!

Rock Bands, just like you know and love them! We’ve had so much interest in playing in bands, we’ve expanded how many we’re offering from previous years. Students are grouped by age and playing level. Always a blast, this class covers musical teamwork, stage presence, some basic arranging, and of course helps students refine their individual skills. Lifelong friends are made in our rock bands every year! Taught by James Lippert and Brendan White.
