Music Lessons in Brooklyn

In-Person & Online Classes Ages 4-Adult

Inspiring Musicians • Building Community

After-School Lessons and classes

At Brooklyn Music Factory, we learn music through songwriting, games, and making music with others. Learn an instrument in a group class or a private lesson, write and play original songs with a band, or both. Regardless, students develop the skills and confidence they need to make, share, and enjoy music with other people—for a lifetime. We are a community of music lovers—and believe learning music can and should be fun, creative, and inspiring. Ages 4-Adult.

“Our family loves being part of the BMF community. The teachers are talented, knowledgeable, supportive, and inspiring.”

Camps

At Brooklyn Music Factory day camps, kids ages 4-11 join bands and spend their days writing songs, playing music games, and getting creative in our fully equipped studios. We also go to the neighborhood park every day to enjoy free play and physical activity and, at the end of each day or week of camp, kids perform their original songs for each other on our in-house stage. The shows are live-streamed and recorded for friends and families to enjoy. Plus, we have a Counselor-In-Training program just for music-loving middle schoolers!

My daughter did two weeks of camp and had a genuinely magical time.”

About Us

Songwriting, music games, and playing music together are at the heart of everything we do at Brooklyn Music Factory. 

Founded in 2010 by Nate Shaw and Peira Moinester—two Brooklyn parents, musicians, and long-time educators—we began as a gathering spot for local families to come to learn and make music together. Today, we continue to offer private lessons, group classes, camps, parties, and special events at our Gowanus studios—and have expanded to also offer online lessons to students across the United States, and curriculum licensing and training to music schools and teachers around the country. 

Learning music can—and should—be fun, creative, and inspiring. Our goal is to spread that joy far and wide.
