For Kids, Teens & Adults

At Brooklyn Music Factory, students don't just learn songs—they become musicians. Using our unique ear-first, game-based curriculum, every lesson develops one or more of our four musical fluencies: rhythm, melody, harmony, and songwriting.

Whether you're just getting started or looking to grow as a musician, our private lessons are personalized, creative, and designed to build confidence through making music.

Kids (Ages 6–11)

Kids learn by playing, creating, and collaborating. Through music games, original songwriting, and one-on-one instruction, students build strong instrument skills while developing the musical fluencies that make great musicians.

Piano, guitar, bass, drums, or voice
Ear-first, game-based learning
Original songwriting and improvisation
Band performances throughout the year

Teens (Ages 12–17)

Teens work on music they actually love while building technique, creativity, and confidence. Lessons are tailored to each student's goals, whether that's writing songs, joining a band, preparing for auditions, or simply becoming a stronger musician.

Personalized instruction
Songwriting and improvisation
Regular performance opportunities
A supportive community of young musicians

Adults (18+)

Whether you're learning for the first time or returning to music, our teachers will help you build skills at your own pace. Learn the songs you love while developing real musicianship in a relaxed, encouraging environment.
