  • Review from the Spring 2025 Afterschool Survey

    Review: The program was a great. My son is learning so much and has gained a level of skill in a short time that really surprised me. The way things are taught has been really effective, and the kids have a big say in what they're working on. The performances are so much fun to attend! Skills learned: guitar playing

  • Review from the 2024 Summer Camp Survey

    Location: Gowanus REVIEW: Very welcoming and accommodating. They have a great space for the kids. When you walk-in, there's a large stage with live music and the kids usually play all sorts of games while listening to music. Our child became a much more confident kid and we credit the instructors for creating a positive atmosphere and encouraging the kids to express themselves. Our child had a great time and we plan to sign up for next summer. CHANGES: DETAILS: Age of child; 4 … Weeks attended: 3

  • Review from the 2024 Summer Camp Survey

    Location: 495 Carroll St, Brooklyn, NY 11215 REVIEW: We loved Brooklyn Music Factory! All the camp counselors were upbeat, incredibly friendly and creative, and truly followed the kids' lead when it came to developing their own music. Our daughter appreciated the small groups (i.e. "bands") and also took daily piano lessons with an unbelievably talented instructor who sent us videos of their progress. 10/10 would recommend!

  • Review from the Fall 2023 & Spring 2024 Afterschool Survey

    REVIEW: Love how BMF gets kids to really engage with music. Rather than just practicing reading and playing sheet music, the kids have the opportunity to explore different instruments (JamBand) learn about music from around the world and are writing their own songs. The teachers are great at connecting with kids and have a lot of patience, good sense of humor and are always curious to see what the kids come up with. Jam sessions in the community room are a highlight (kids get to jump in and out of them before or after their class) Skills learned: playing the piano and drums, songwriting, team building Age of child: 8 years

  • Review from the Fall 2023 & Spring 2024 Afterschool Survey

    REVIEW: This has been a great program! Our daughter has a lot of fun- the teacher is excellent at making piano lessons fun with a curriculum based around stories instead of just memorizing notes. It’s especially fun that before and after class there is always a big open jam session with all kinds of instruments and includes teachers, adults, and kids of all ages. What would you change? It would be great if they offered after school pickup - this is one that we have to bring her to ourselves. Age of child: 6 years old

  • Brooklyn music factory has a camp and you can sign up by the day. We’ve been really impressed so far

    Brooklyn music factory has a camp and you can sign up by the day. We’ve been really impressed so far this week!

  • music lessons in park slope for 4-5yrs old

    Brooklyn music factory on Carroll. We don’t take lessons there but we do the mini camps they hold throughout the year and my son really enjoys it. Great introduction to different instruments.

  • Review from the 2023 Summer Camp Survey

    Location: 495 Carroll St, Brooklyn, NY 11215 How old was your child when they attended camp this summer? 4 years, 6 years (two children) Review: My kids loved camp! The staff and teachers are a delight. They are all so nice to the kids and they make everyone feel excited about making music and comfortable on the stage. Every Friday afternoon they have a livestream in which they perform their original songs, and it is so adorable and inspiring! Whether your kids have some musical experience already or not, the teachers are prepared to help everyone learn, grow, and have fun! We will definitely be going back! Would you like to add anything related to COVID and how the camp handled it? They require COVID vaccination for 5-year-olds and up.

  • Review from the 2023 Summer Camp Survey

    Location: Gowanus How old was your child when they attended camp this summer? Entering Kindergarten/ almost 5 Review: We did this camp for a week at the end of summer and it was absolutely perfect for my music-loving kid. He was excited to go, and got to try guitar, keyboard, singing and songwriting with the group. They also have regular play and art times. Groups were small, teachers were all super nice, they got outside every day when it wasn’t raining, and they were very flexible with aftercare. We will do this camp again for school breaks and 1-2 weeks in summer. Would you like to add anything related to COVID and how the camp handled it? Required vaccinations for all campers 5+

  • ISO: Piano lessons for 9 year old beginner

    Brooklyn Music Factory offers private online or in-person lessons, and provides a free trial lesson. We pay monthly for my daughter’s private guitar lessons, so I think there’s no longterm commitment. We love BMF’s vibe and ethos - check them out! https://www.brooklynmusicfactory.com/

  • ISO: kids’ piano/keyboard teacher

    Huge fan of Brooklyn Music Factory! My kids have a cultivated love for music, don’t “hate” the piano. And we have no ambition to head to Juliard. Check them out! Excellent Zoom teaching too.

  • ISO: Ukulele teacher for an adult

    Hi!! I know folks at Brooklyn Music Factory are doing remote adult lessons for guitar with free trial lessons

  • Review from the 2019 PSP Daycare, Preschool Survey

    Signed up my son for this camp on a whim and it was a big hit. He'd taken formal music lessons for a little while earlier this year but chafed at them, so I wanted to give him a chance to explore music in another setting. The camp was fun, relaxed, creative and very age appropriate. The counselors seemed really warm. The kids also spend an hour or so each day at Brooklyn Boulders which broke up the day and was a great chance to do something physical without baking in the blazing hot sun.

  • best music education for kids

    I went with Brooklyn Music Factory over Suzuki method or (there were two other schools/methods whose names I can’t remember). They gameified the music basics; build in a love for performing and listening to others; and it has worked for my kid. Of course, some kids do better w something more serious, or more nurturing (like in-home one/one lessons), etc.

  • band camp

    I highly recommend Brooklyn Music Factory. They divide the kids into bands according to age and level at the beginning of week and write, rehearse and perform their song at week’s end. My 7 year old boys have gone a few summers in a row. Amazing teachers and wonderful camp.

  • 2019 Summer Camp Review

    Age: 11 Review: BMF is the best! This was our daughter's fourth - one week winter or summer camp experience with them. How they mold a group of kids with or without music experience or talent into a band that actually performs an original rock song within just one week still amazes us. The staff is all talented and super friendly/helpful/supportive. They go to the Degraw Street park and/or Brooklyn Bolders for climbing every day, so its not all music. What would you change? At 11, our daughter has probably outgrown their weeklong camp program, which doesn't change much from year to year. She will however continue private lessons there, because she loves the teachers and we definitely see result both in skill and passion. It would be great if they came up with a formula for the weeklong camps that would be a bit different somehow than the same format, so tweens could more easily "graduate" to a new experience with them.

  • 2018 Review

    A wonderful place for mature kids over age 6 good exposure to all kinds of instruments and kids put on a performance at the end of the week Downside - no refrigerator for kids’ lunches/snacks After school at Brooklyn boulders is great for athletic children 4/5 stars

  • 2018 Summer Camp Reviews

    My daughters's third time at BMF and its always a great experience. Just amazing how they mold these kids into a band that plays a song at the end. Its really helped cement her love for music. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. Wonderful program

  • Music Class Recommendation

    I wanted to pass along a great music opportunity for 4 & 5 year-olds. The Mini-Keys program at the Brooklyn Music Factory offers semi-private classes where children make music on keyboards, mics, drum sets, etc. The director, Jason, is an awesome musician and long-time early childhood educator. He's taught my son for years and I couldn't recommend him highly enough!

  • Review from the 2017 PSP Summer Camp Survey

    They loved this camp when they were younger so we decided to go back this year for a week. However, they clearly aged out at 12 years of age. Maybe I should have know that but I do wish the staff had been proactive and told me that when we signed up. Only a few other kids their age were in their band. I'd like BMF to be more clear in their marketing and communication around this. If you have older kids, remember to ASK how many kids will be in their age group in relation to the other younger set. They had an OK time they did love the rock climbing. If you could change anything, what would it be? Age of child: 12 Based on a Summer 2017 experience

  • Review from 2015 Summer Camp Survey

    Program: Age of Child: 5 Likes: He loved being in a band of 6 kids - was great for both music learning and communal bonding. He also loved and was proud of the performance at the end of each week, as he got to play a real electric guitar and bass! What would you change? Nothing! Would you send your child(ren) again? Yes Do you recommend? Highly recommend Do you have any other information to add? Great culture

  • Recommendation for drum or guitar class for 5 yr old?

    Brooklyn Music Factory in Gowanus! Both my children take private guitar and drums there and have participated in bands where they get to learn all the band instruments (including electric guitar and keyboard), how to play in a group, collaborate on music writing, cover popular songs across genres and perform on an awesome stage. Warm, family oriented environment. Very cool. Hard to find anything this wonderful anywhere else. Kids love it. They have stuff for parents too. Drum circles are always a part of the warm up too. Great teaching model to inspire love of music from an early age.

    Response to a request for Guitar lessons: I strongly suggest Brooklyn Music Factory! The teachers are great musicians, the teaching program really effective and students get the opportunity to perform at places like Puppets!
