30 Years of

Music Access Project

Bloomingdale’s MAP program targets the youth of NYC who possess the talent to compete on an elite musical level, but lack the resources and training necessary to channel their talent into something meaningful and lasting. BSM offers the majority of MAP students a full scholarship, worth roughly $6,500 per year. Each year, between 15 and 20 students are enrolled in the program. Since the program’s inception in 1992, over 200 students have graduated from the program and 99% have gained entry to a conservatory, college, or university.

Our theme this year is derived from the MAP experience. A play on words of the common phrase “Pay it forward.” Play it Forward alludes to the path each MAP student embarks on with the support of Bloomingdale faculty, community members, and funders. This forward movement in their lives begins with acceptance in the program and leads them on a personal and musical journey through to college.

So many MAP students go on to pay it forward as upstanding members of their own communities or even as faculty and staff here at Bloomingdale, mentoring the next generation of MAP students.
