The classes

Taught by people who actually do it.

01 / Disciplines

Two flagship classes open this summer. Each one is led by a working musician or a working artist who teaches on the side. More open as we find the right teacher for each.

Music

Open now

Piano, from the very first key. Kids learn to read a few notes and play them back. By the end, each child has a short piece they can play at home.

Art

Open now

Drawing and painting with proper materials. We start by looking closely, then we make a mess on purpose. Brushes, paint, good paper, and a table full of kids who don't want to stop.

The Studio

A room on Montague, built for making.

Our studio sits right on Montague Street, the main street of Brooklyn Heights. High ceilings, brownstone light, and tables that are meant to get covered in paint.

It's the same people you already know from Gifted and Talented Kids, with the same care for each kid. We kept it small on purpose, so every child gets seen.

Sample only. Actual afternoon times are set close to the start of summer.

Why we made it

Every child is gifted at something. Summer is when they go find it.

Some kids hear a song before they can read it. Some draw on every surface in the house. We give them a teacher who knows the craft, the right materials, and the room to take the thing they love seriously. That's the whole idea.
