My Project
Located in Coney Island, Brooklyn, our school for the Gifted and Talented is filled with hard-working, fun-loving, dedicated young musicians.
Now, more than ever, we need to foster creativity, empathy, and cultural literacy through music!
Music teaches our students to imagine, innovate, collaborate, and respond with wonderment and awe to the artistic contributions of all cultures.
They love and need music. They soak it up every chance they get. A new drum set will take our jazz band to new heights! A baritone horn will help bring all those low notes to life! New guitars will give every kid in our class a chance to rock out!
Half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
