Description
Piano Ensemble supports young pianists in developing musicianship and listening skills. Students have fun learning individual parts that combine to create an ensemble sound. Students improve their rhythm, sight-reading, and expressive tools and take part in crafting arrangements, composing original songs and exploring improvisation. Piano Ensemble lays the foundation for students to join chamber groups, jazz ensembles and even explore new instruments.

When registering for a class, lesson, or ensemble, please take note of the location. BKCM is expanding to a new location in the fall: One Prospect Park West, with an entrance at 963 President Street, and most of our Community Music School programming will be taking place at the new building, with some exceptions.
