Would not send my child here. The leadership is disengaged. Parents doesn’t even know who runs the building. There is a high turnover rate with the employees so there is always someone new around your child and/or chaos in its ARY children’s program. The building is falling apart with molding, broken windows, doors that doesn’t lock, broken theater chairs (the theater like the last reviewer mentioned is still disgustingly hot if you attend any of their shows or visit in the summer for summer camp), the basement floods and etc. There is no safety plan so therefore there’s never a fire drill or other mandatory procedures happening. There was a rat infestation over the year and you would be able to smell dead rats throughout the building or even see rats running around the building in broad daylight around the kids! Staff there has not gotten paid three consecutive pay periods in a row which is one of the many reasons why employees are constantly quitting (directors, teachers, counselors, finance department and leadership positions). This place needs to be investigated and shut down. Just take a visit for yourselves and you will see. I am also not interested in any response from the organization as nothing has changed in all the years that I knew this place. It has especially gotten gotten worse over the last two years.

My kids have taken private lessons and group lessons at Brooklyn Music School for the past 5 years. We’ve done classes for toddlers, dance, and group music classes and private lessons. Our kids still currently take private lessons and have gone to the summer camp which has been a wonderful experience for all of us.

The teachers are phenomenal and we’ve seen our children develop an appreciation for music and grow as individuals. Our children play violin and guitar respectively and our daughter absolutely loves the Strings summer intensive and asks to go back every year.

The location is great in Ft Greene with access to every train at Atlantic Street and close to the G and A train. The building is beautiful and holds a lot of charm.

The staff and teachers again are really remarkable and caring people. Check them out they rock and we love them.
