"We provide music education, music therapy to about 7,000 New Yorkers here out of our home in Park Slope and about 90 partnership sites around the five boroughs,"
"We partner with public schools, private schools, homeless shelters, memory care units, and we send therapists in and develop programs that are community-based, culturally responsive,"
"We really want to help them accomplish that because the outcomes from these patients, and you see what music therapy does for them, is incredible,"
"After I come out of music, I'm pretty much happy because I got to do something I've always loved,"
The Brooklyn Conservatory of Music is a 128-year-old nonprofit and the largest provider of music therapy in New York City. The Conservatory helps clients access emotional and cognitive capacities through music. The organization is expanding into a 12,000-square-foot campus at One Prospect Park West to relieve capacity constraints and double music therapy clients in coming years. The new facility will include 13 acoustic studios, a performance hall, community space, and a future Music Therapy Institute that will operate nationwide. Programs partner with public and private schools, homeless shelters, and memory care units and emphasize community-based, culturally responsive care. A $16 million project includes funding from the Joel Foundation.
