EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR,

Erika Atkins

In this time of great change, not only for the BSM community, but for our city, our nation, and our world, our primary focus continues to be the musical development of our students.

In this moment, our connections are so key, even in this socially distanced world. We remain committed to being a reason to gather, connect and share the joy of music.

Please continue to take advantage of our virtual community, tune into a concert, or take an online lesson. We are YOUR center for music education on the Upper West Side since 1964.
