<p>^I take piano lessons there (and used to be in their youth symphony). The Neighborhood Music School definitely has a fabulous music program; youth orchestras and ensembles, even art, dance, and daycare. It’s on Audubon, very artsy for youngsters (also, the Educational Center for the Arts is there for high schoolers) and there’s a cozy cafe too!
Lots of Yale Music School alumni in the faculty. I’m sure you’ll find them reliable for renting info. I hope I gave you a good context for what it’s like!</p>
