Bloomingdale’s summer will be completely virtual and we’re excited about some new offerings we will be able to bring to the community.

Bloomingdale School of Music's 20th Annual

Performathon

AN ONLINE STUDENT-DRIVEN PERFORMANCE FUNDRAISER FOR Bloomingdale School of Music’s SCHOLARSHIP FUND, CULMINATING IN A LIVE MUSICAL EVENT ON JUNE 6 at 6 pm.

Help support Bloomingdale School of Music’s Scholarship Program, the core of our mission to provide open access to quality music education! Our 2-week fundraising campaign, running May 22- June 6, gives BSM students the chance to upload their unique performance videos to their own fundraising page, share with family and friends, and ask them to donate to BSM’s scholarship fund in honor of their performance.

For summer 2020 we have reimagined our offerings to accommodate staying home and safe while continuing to provide the quality music education you know and love. Summer Registration opens May 22, 2020

MUSIC Classes & Ensembles

WE ARE A COMMUNITY BUILT ON MUSIC

Bloomingdale School of Music is a diverse, multi-generational community serving over 800 students every week. We practice inclusivity by offering music education to all ages and levels – from three months old in our Early Childhood program to seniors taking private lessons and joining adult music classes. We offer private lessons and group classes that create a supportive, educational community. We dedicate a portion of our annual budget to financial aid and scholarships to offer music programs, partnerships, and performances to all who want to learn.

EARLY CHILDHOOD classes (Infant–Pre K)

Age-appropriate activities introduce children to basic musical concepts to build a foundation.

Children's Music Classes (K–12)

Children enter music offerings through classes, private lessons, and ensembles.

Adult Music Classes (Ages 18+)

Whether a beginner or rekindling a passion, our teachers provide custom learning programs.

Ensembles

Join groups of like-minded musicians to enjoy playing music in a supportive, fun, environment.

BECAUSE MUSIC MATTERS

MUSIC EDUCATION CHANGES LIVES

We provide access to music education to anyone who seeks it, regardless of economic status, ability, ethnicity, or religion, which has a profound impact on individual lives as well as on our entire community.

"We did not have money for piano lessons back then. I received financial aid for piano lessons and later I was accepted into BSM’s Professional Training Program (PTP). I can’t imagine what my life would be like if I had not come across BSM and received financial aid."

"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."

"We can't even express how excited we are to have found the BSM and watching Jake blossom into becoming a musician is both exciting and amazing. Thank you BMS. Hope we make beautiful music together for many years to come!"

"We are a long time BSM 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. BSM gave him his start!"
