Music Classes
Private Lessons & Group Classes for Ages 6-8
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 6-8, we offer group band and instrument classes, as well as private lessons. Some students do one or the other, some do both!
Jam Band 101
Jam Band 101 is a fun, collaborative class where kids ages 6-8 develop beginning music fluencies by playing games and writing songs together. Perfect for total beginners, as well as for kids with 1-2 years of band and/or private lesson experience, Jam Band 101 is a fun and creative class where students learn the principles of music and songwriting. Plus, they get to sing and play the keyboard, guitar and drums every week–becoming familiar with all of the instruments and how they fit together in a band.
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, our students 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 at gigs where they play their original songs in bands. Private lessons are available on guitar, bass, drums, piano, and voice.
BMF has helped my child not only learn music, but build confidence and creativity as a musician, and also just have a lot of fun! The most fun thing about being a part of the BMF community is all the opportunities they offer to engage kids.
