Discovery Day 2023

Manhattan’s largest community arts school invites children ages 4+ and their families to come try out instruments with our experienced and nurturing faculty members, participate in short dance and Dalcroze classes, and enjoy performances by students in Merkin Hall. In one fun-filled, action-packed afternoon, kids can play the guitar like a rock star; learn how it feels to bow a cello and violin; sample a ballet class, and take a turn at the flute, clarinet, saxophone, bassoon, trumpet and percussion instruments. This event is perfect for children thinking about starting an instrument or dance at any age, as well as for young musicians who’d like to explore a second instrument. The staff will be happy to answer questions and make recommendations based on your child’s age, interests and skill level. There will be snacks!
