Private Lessons & Group Classes for Ages 9-11
At Brooklyn Music Factory, learning music revolves around songwriting, games, and plenty of opportunities to make music as a community. Through songwriting and games, students are developing the real-life skills—strong ears, theory, skills & technique—musicians need to make music. (Hint: There’s a lot more to music than playing chords on an instrument!)
For students ages 9-11, we offer group band and instrument classes, as well as private lessons. Some students do one or the other, some do both!
Rock Write Record
In Rock Write Record bands, kids ages 9-11 come together to write and record songs, collaborate musically, level up their musicianship, and learn the skills to play in a band. Students develop advanced music fluencies by playing games and writing songs together with their band. Because instruction in Rock Write Record bands focuses on songwriting, students must be taking private lessons on their instrument outside of band class. At least 1 to 2 years of experience required.
Group Instrument Classes
Group instrument classes are a fun and creative place for kids to focus on a particular instrument (guitar, drums, piano or voice) and start developing instrument-specific skill and technique–while also writing songs and playing games designed to teach general music fluency (ie., music skills, like theory and ear training, that all musicians need, regardless of instrument). All in a fun & collaborative group setting… and for the cost of a group class!
Private Lessons
Private lessons at Brooklyn Music Factory are a LOT different than the boring lessons many parents remember from their own childhoods. Instead of doing boring drills, students at BMF are playing music games and writing original songs to learn the principles of music, along with instrument-specific skills and technique. Plus, private lesson students come together twice a year to play their original songs in bands. Private lessons are available on guitar, bass, drums, piano, and voice.
Our daughter is thrilled to have gotten into both LaGuardia and Murrow for music. BMF gave her a safe place to develop not only her skills, but her passion for music. It means so much to her.”
