Don't miss the performances, hands-on musical opportunities, plus new classes and camps this summer! More info at musicacademync.org

The Fiddle Fun concert held at the Children's Museum earlier this month was incredible fun! Our faculty string quartet loves to play, perform, educate, and interact so to get to do it all at once puts smiles on their faces for sure! The kids were in awe of the sounds and excited to make their own sounds on the string instruments. Thanks for partnering with us, Miriam P. Brenner Children's Museum.

Dear adults,
Why should the kids have all the fun? That's easy - they shouldn't!
Always wanted to play the ukulele? Now's your chance to shine. 😉
Class is held on Wednesdays from 7p-8p, starting 7/15.

It's the last jazz workshop of the summer, so don't miss it! Put it on the calendar, activate your notifications, create a reminder, set your alarm, tell your mom - whatever you need to do to be here on Sunday making music with us.

Chrishawn Darby will be leading the session and guiding you through the art of making live arrangements of tunes you may already know and love. We'll be working with some jazz standards: "C Jam Blues", "Take the A Train", "Autumn Leaves", and "Summertime".

This is your chance to learn, experiment, and make some music together with people who are just as passionate about jazz as you are...or you soon will be!
