Kids can get bored or frustrated with music lessons and struggle to stick with them. (Sound familiar?)
Our curriculum motivates kids to play more music on their own and with others, encourages creative songwriting, and includes lots and lots of games—so kids are inspired to grow into lifelong music makers!
Our music lessons are an ears first methodology while still providing plenty of opportunities to read notation and chord charts - which is what pop/rock/jazz musicians read!
Instead of bored & frustrated, Brooklyn Music Factory musicians are confident in their creativity & ability to play with others.
Staying connected with others is so important - especially now. Our students play music together regularly, and learn to connect and communicate with others through music.
Game-based learning keeps our lessons fun and effective. We follow our own unique lesson architecture that challenges every student to use their ears before their eyes as they solve the puzzle of music.
Greg grew up in Yorktown Heights, NY and has a degree in Studio Production and Composition from SUNY Purchase. He started playing music when he was 12 years old. ”I was born and raised on MTV. My dad got me into 80s alternative at a very young age. Bands like The Replacements, The Smiths, Husker Du…”
Aside from music, Greg has a passion for biking. Anything else that he’d like to share with the BMF community? “ I LOVE cheesy reality TV.... it’s my one vice…”
Most importantly, Greg would like to offer one piece of advice to his students: “My advice is to listen, learn, and play with your peers. Keep creating and never stop.” 🎵 ❤️

Sergio grew up in the South Bronx and has a bachelor’s degree in Composition and Guitar Performance from Florida State University. He started playing music at 14 years old. “ My sister was at a party and was randomly given a nylon string guitar that only had 4 strings. She came home with it and said I could have it. That night changed my life.” 🎸
Sergio’s coolest gig? “I played a protest show at Foley Square in the city. We went up right after Mayor Bloomberg spoke. Linda Sarsour, one of the organizers of the women’s march, introduced us on stage. Still the highlight of my musical career.” He cites Prince as a huge influence on him and his playing.
Aside from music, Sergio has a passion for comics and even makes some of his own! “When I’m bored at home I create different stories and then draw them out.” ✏️
Most importantly, Sergio has an important piece of advice for his students: “Love your instrument the way you love ice cream. Both are extremely sad when you drop them.” 🍦 😂
"BMF has helped my child continue to collaborate and create during the Covid-19 crisis. His weekly class has been important to continue for the continuity as well as creativity and I am glad BMF figured out how to make this happen."
“Such a great class. We are very impressed by our Zoom sessions.”
...At least that's what we think! Our students play a BLAM game (that's Big Lesson About Music!) in every lesson. These music games strengthen rhythm, melody, harmony and songwriting skills in a fun and engaging way.
