Noteworthy to listen, to see, and to participate. And then there's the joy.

One of the best music schools in New York City! My kids absolutely love studying here. They’re part of the rock and jazz band, take theory, voice, and piano lessons, and every instructor has been nothing short of excellent — talented, warm, and truly dedicated.
A special shout-out to Kaitlin, who leads the Summer Musical Theater program. She’s incredible — loving, extremely prepared, and endlessly patient. The annual community events they organize are amazing and full of heart.
Also, Myra from Student Services is always on top of everything. She’s accessible, supportive, and helps with any schedule changes my kids need. I’m very happy and impressed with the education and overall experience my children are receiving.
Highly recommended! 🎶💛

Warm and welcoming is the best way to describe 3rd Street Music school! My son loves piano and wakes up to go at 9am on Saturday.

Great school that has served NYC longer than any other music school in the country. The keyboard area is organized and run by a wonderful pianist, teacher and administrator, Joan Forsyth, who deserves so much credit for getting some of America and the world's most renowned musicians and composers in NYC to be involved with the students (Phillip Glass, Lowell Lieberman, Joan Tower, Julia Wolfe and the like!) thank you Joan for your efforts to make the student experience special!!!'
