Excellent experience so far.

Super warm environment and very talented kids.

Great Music School

Great music college in a nice part of Manhattan.

Years ago, MSM was a client of mine for several years. Every time I was there, I met wonderfully motivated students, excitement and a passion for music and achievement from just about everyone. Teachers, parents of students and administrators I came in contact with were all down to earth and “real”. No “divas” here, despite the fact that many of the faculty were super-talented top musicians in their fields. From what I’ve heard in recent years, it’s apparently even better. A great institution!

I recently went back to visit as an alum, and really appreciated the front desk/security workers. They are often unappreciated and treated poorly. At my visit, even though it was very busy and someone was having a meltdown about losing their phone at a concert they attended last night, the security dealt with everyone quickly and calmly and got me an alum ID so I could enter. They have, in my experience, always been hard-working and good multi-taskers.

Regarding the gift shop t-shirts, I would recommend sourcing from union-made products, rather than products from the cheapest bidder with questionable labor conditions.
