At Brooklyn Music Factory, our Rock, Write, Record curriculum is designed for kids and teens ages 9–17 to experience the full creative journey:

From First Idea to Final Recording

Collaborate with peers on drums, guitar, piano, bass, and vocals

Recording, editing, and mixing—applied to their own songs

Live shows, recordings, and music videos that families can actually experience

Students aren’t just learning—they’re finishing songs they’re proud of.

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.

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!!
