Brooklyn Music School (BMS) is a community school for the performing arts, founded in 1910 as the Brooklyn Music School Settlement. The school was founded on the principal that performance and appreciation was an essential part of life, and who wished to spread music and performance to a broader audience of new Americans. Today, Brooklyn is a magnet for people from around the world, both musicians seeking new audiences and families seeking a better life. The organization continues to stay true to its heritage of building communities through the joy and appreciation of music. BMS owns and operates a historic four-story building in the Fort Greene neighborhood that contains twenty-four classrooms, three dance studios, and a professional 266-seat Spanish-style theatre founded in 1926. Brooklyn Music School is a long-standing member of the National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts. In recent years, Fort Greene has become recognized as a cultural hub of Brooklyn and the home to some of the most innovative music and performances in New York City.
