Since 1905, Greenwich House Music School (GHMS) has been providing high-quality, affordable music education to the people of New York City. The school has occupied its current location at 44-46 Barrow Street in historic Greenwich Village since 1914 and has played an important part in the careers and lives of tens of thousands of students including John Cage, Harry Chapin, Henry Cowell, Edgar Varèse and many others.
Today, the school continues to serve the musical needs of students of all ages with private lessons, group classes, ensembles and regular student and faculty recitals. In addition to educating its students, GHMS serves the community with a wide spectrum of venerable concerts and readings in its Renee Weiler Concert Hall, hosts education workshops and meetings for local civic and cultural organizations, and provides affordable rehearsal and performance space for local musicians. The School’s Arts-in-Education Outreach program, now in its 22nd year, expands its reach by providing much needed music instruction to New York City public schools including the High School for Art and Design and Public School #2 in Chinatown. The school is a member of the New York City Coalition of Community Schools of the Arts and The National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts.
