How We Teach

Not Your Traditional Music Lesson

Brooklyn Music Factory Private lessons and classes are for students ages 4–adult. Unlike many other programs, BMF focuses on building musicians who are skilled on and off their instruments. Students play Big Music Games that have them moving around the room, training their ears and their voices. Students learn music theory and songwriting from a young age, so they can not only play music, but also understand what they’re playing. Students in both group classes and private lessons play together in bands during Songwriting Parties and gigs.

Our students play gigs & record their original songs.
We measure success by how many fun gigs our students play with one another and recording projects they collaborate on.
Game-based learning keeps our lessons and classes fun and effective.
We follow our own unique lesson architecture that challenges every student to use their ears before their eyes.
BMF teachers have regular meetings to develop curriculum, share successes and challenges and support each other.

BIG 3

We are a performance-based business, meaning we measure all staff and faculty on their success in three key areas. These are foundational and essential to the financial & cultural health of the school.

01

Communicate Consistently

Consistent use of BMFConnect to communicate with families. Send all private lesson and band reports within 24 hours of the lesson or class. Send two semi-annual progress reports to all students. Utilize the BMF enrollment system to get your students re-enrolled.

02

Implement Curriculum

Utilizing unique BMF curriculum with families through BMFConnect. Assign unique BMF games and exercises. Supply written and/or audio recordings of students’ learning materials in the Gdrive lesson or band folder.

03

Build Community

Collaboration and retention. Your students participate in at least one community event per season (ex. Songwriting party or open mic). You retain your students throughout a season and re-enroll your students into the next season.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Musicians big and small are encouraged to develop their path in their own unique way.  This is a place for budding musicians that are internally driven by their love of music and the joy they get from developing their skills and collaborating with others.  Our multi-instrument musician has been taught and mentored by BMF for almost 10 years.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just picked our kiddo (4 year old) up from his second day of Spring Break camp at BMF.  Yesterday he said it was the best camp ever.  I wanted to make sure before I shared my review, so I asked again today, and he said he had even more fun!   We have been a BMF family for many years with my older kids (and have only great things to say about the music lessons!), but this is our first round of camp with a little one.  He tends to be shy and anxious to try new things, but he said he loved the teachers and he made friends. He has been humming his original song all afternoon, and his only complaint is that eventually we have to go back to school and cannot go back to camp until this summer.  I love the flexibility they offer in scheduling and that they spend time outside.  He is happy and tired at the end of the day...I cannot ask for more than that!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We took our daughter here for a single-day song-writing camp and she had an absolute blast. We worried about whether she’d feel alone since she went in not knowing anyone else and having never stepped foot in the music factory. But she eased right in.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our kiddo LOVES Brooklyn Music Factory. The counselors are fun, knowledgeable, and bring out the best in the kiddos. The livestreams of their performances is brilliant. It's been wonderful to see our kiddo grow in their music making and confidence at all the same time. Thanks BMF!!
