PASSIONATE PEOPLE Inspiring MUSIC DEVELOPMENT

Through our 50+ years, Bloomingdale has served generations of families with a personal and welcoming approach. Our board are a dedicated group of volunteers committed to education and music access.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Erika Atkins

Since 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.
