SEE WHAT OUR FAMILIES HAVE TO SAY

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.

Because of Bloomingdale, I get to experience the sense of community that comes along with playing music. I get to make new friendships, be taught by dedicated teachers, and play the instrument I love. Bloomingdale has made me seriously think about a career in music, and has brought a joy in my life through music.

My son told me how much he loves his trumpet teacher after being taught by him for 3 years. His teacher shows so much respect for his students, their music tastes and interests.

My daughter was re-inspired to learn to play the piano, after a disastrous start 4 years ago. Marc has instilled in her the joy of playing music.

PRIVATE LESSONS FOR ALL AGES

Our 30, 45 and 60-minute music lessons give prospective students the opportunity to experience our community and the hands-on learning students enjoy. Lessons are taught by passionate and experienced faculty who customize lessons for each student. 30-minute Trial classes are $30.
