OUR MISSION

To develop the musician, not merely the instrumentalist …

In addition to instruction on all instruments (brass, guitar, percussion, piano, strings, voice and woodwinds), we aim to develop the complete musician by offering instruction in traditional and jazz theory, ear training and ensemble work. .

To make the student feel at home …

The studios at Briarcliff Music provide a comfortable, yet challenging setting in which students can thrive. Our beautiful facility is equipped with 15 studios, ensemble rooms and a performance space, furnished with modern equipment, Yamaha upright pianos and a baby grand. We also offer instrument rentals and repair and recording facilities.

To create a musical community …

Briarcliff Music enriches students by exposing them to world-class performances by faculty members and special guests. Take a look at some past performances. Students learn by doing. Accordingly, we also offer an exciting way for students to challenge themselves and apply their musical education by participating in ensemble performances.

To draw on a wealth of experience …

Perhaps our greatest asset, The Briarcliff Music faculty, brings to our students years of experience as accomplished performers and dedicated music educators. Check out faculty bios for more information.
