Summer 2026 · Starts Monday, June 29

A summer of music,
art, and discovery.

Afternoon classes on Montague Street, made for kids who light up when they make something with their hands.

Afternoon classes for kids ages 3 to 12, a block off the park in Brooklyn Heights. Run by the people behind Gifted and Talented Kids.

Ages 3 to 12 Weekday afternoons Small groups Brooklyn Heights

Every child is gifted. Summer is for finding the spark.

The Classes

Two classes to start, more on the way.

We're opening with the two classes kids come back to all summer: piano and painting. Small afternoon groups, sorted by age, with teachers who like the work and like kids.

Music · Piano

First chords, then a real song with both hands at the keys. We keep it playful and patient, so even a shy beginner ends the summer wanting to show you what they can play.

Art · Drawing & Painting

Brushes, pastels, big paper, and no wrong answers. Kids draw what they see and paint what they feel, then take home something they made with their own hands.

The light-filled studio interior on Montague Street

A bright room on the best block in the Heights.

Montague Street is the kind of street kids can walk to after a day in the park. Our new room catches that brownstone light all afternoon, with a real piano against one wall and an art table you are allowed to get messy.

It's the same hands you know from Gifted and Talented Kids, our preschool, now opening a second door for the summer. Same people, same standard, a new room set up for these classes.

How it works

Three small steps, then we do the rest.

No app, no long forms. Tell us what your kid wants to try, pick an afternoon, and we get back to you ourselves.

1

Pick a class

Start with piano or painting. If your kid can't decide, no problem. We'll talk it through on the phone.

2

Choose an afternoon slot

Slots run by age, younger ones earlier and older ones later, so the room always fits the group.

3

Reserve a spot

Send us the form or give us a call. We hold the place and follow up with everything you need.

Our spirit

Summer is for finding the spark.

Some kids hear a melody once and hum it for a week. Some can sit with a sheet of paper and a box of pastels and forget the time.

We think every child is gifted at something. The trick is giving them a few quiet afternoons and the right materials, then watching to see what they reach for. A summer is long enough to try, and short enough that it never feels like school.

We keep the groups small and the pressure low. Some kids leave loving the piano. Some leave covered in paint. Both count as a good summer to us.

Reserve & inquire

Hold a place for your child.

The groups are small, so spots are too. Send the form or call us. Someone from the studio gets back to you, usually within a day.
