The Brooklyn Music School is a community school located in the Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York that provides music education and cultural enrichment to over 6,000 families. [1] Founded in 1909 as the Brooklyn Music School Settlement, [2] it owns and operates a four-story building located at 126 St. Felix Street that contains twenty-four classrooms, three dance studios, and a 266-seat Spanish Style theatre. The school is a long-standing member of the National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
The Brooklyn Music School Playhouse was also the home of the Little Theatre Opera company in the 1920s. From 2011 until 2018, it was the home of Science, Language & Arts International School (SLA), a French and Mandarin immersion science- and arts-based elementary school.
Since its inception, Brooklyn Music School has prioritized serving underprivileged families and students who lack access to music education in their public schools. [8]
