BRINGING CHILDREN AND MUSICIANS TOGETHER
Intersection Music and Arts gives back to our NYC community in a variety of ways. We provide in-school and after-school music instruction classes, countless donations of free music lessons at public school auctions every year, free use of our instruments in our public school programs, as well as partial or full scholarships for deserving families in need who are currently enrolled in our private music lesson program.
CULTURAL FIELD TRIPS & CONCERTS
We also provide participatory enrichment activities for IMA families and children in our public school programs. Past group field trips, open to all our students, included attending concerts at Carnegie Hall, and viewing the instrument collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. These trips of inspiration and perspective, while educational, also provide a fun social outlet for IMA students from different schools to connect with each other.
