On behalf of PLUS1 and our community, we thank you for the important work your organization is doing. These funds are being contributed from our Mental Health Access Fund in support of the valuable work your organization does for the mental health of the community, not only for the kids’ music education and music therapy, but because so many low-income working families in the area are relying on this summer program for childcare.

I am so grateful to Brooklyn Music School and the faculty and staff there! If it wasn’t for my studies at BMS I would have never become a chorus/theater teacher or the performer I am. All my musical accomplishments I owe to my amazing teachers including my private piano teacher Sophia Genis. I had so many performance opportunities in the school as well as the ability to perform with different ensembles such as rock band, jazz band, orchestra, and the summer vocal arts series. My time spent in the school for at least a decade, 100% influenced me to become the musician, performer and teacher that I am today <3

As a musician and educator to lend my modest support to such a worthy cause Especially for our children.
