Founded in 1964, Bloomingdale School of Music is dedicated to the belief that music changes lives and everyone should have access to high-quality music education regardless of economic status, race, religion, ability level, or gender.
Bloomingdale School of Music is a music-driven community center where all are welcome to join and learn about music from top faculty. We are dedicated to our mission – to make music education accessible to all who want to learn – and remain focused on supporting this mission through our values.
We believe music is for everyone. We work with students to overcome financial or personal obstacles by offering aid and flexibility.
We value diversity by creating an environment of voices where each member is inspired to be open and feels valued.
A community that unites all ages, backgrounds, and cultures, Bloomingdale finds common purpose through the language of music.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTORSince March 2020, COVID-19 has changed every aspect of our lives and the entire world. Despite obstacles and hardships, Bloomingdale School of Music adapted in order to continue to provide access to high quality music education to all, no matter one’s economic status, ability level, ethnicity, or religious affiliation.
As we gradually return to sharing spaces for in-person learning, I would like to commend the commitment of Bloomingdale’s students and faculty to gather, connect and share the joy of music. I am so proud to be a part of this community.
Thank you for your bravery and dedication, and for choosing us as YOUR center for music education, serving the Upper West Side since 1964.
