BECAUSE MUSIC MATTERS

MUSIC EDUCATION CHANGES LIVES

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.

"We did not have money for piano lessons back then. I received financial aid for piano lessons and later I was accepted into BSM’s Professional Training Program (PTP). I can’t imagine what my life would be like if I had not come across BSM and received financial aid."
Layton-Yang Z.Bloomingdale Student
"Having weekly lessons impacted my life so much. It didn’t make me afraid to try out new things. When I started ensemble classes a few years ago, it made me finally stop being shy and learn how to speak up for my opinion."
Alison D.Bloomingdale Student
"We can't even express how excited we are to have found the BSM and watching Jake blossom into becoming a musician is both exciting and amazing. Thank you BMS. Hope we make beautiful music together for many years to come!"
Zach B.Bloomingdale Parent
"We are a long time BSM family. Our older son started taking classes there when he was a baby. He’s 18 now and will be majoring in musical theater in the fall. BSM gave him his start!"
Mary A.Bloomingdale Parent
