Greenwich Village is a place where individual creativity has always been celebrated. In 1905, Greenwich House created the Music School and, in 1909, the Pottery.

Since their founding, these schools continue to transform education in the arts— especially music and pottery—and provide opportunities for emerging artists to perform or exhibit their work. As an important contributor to the arts in New York, Greenwich House’s commitment to educational and artistic excellence remains as strong today as it was when it offered lessons and classes to those first students over a hundred years ago. Both schools continue to thrive because they are places for students of the arts to be creative in a supportive environment, to learn and help shape their craft.

Greenwich House Music and Pottery have classes and programs for anyone wishing to learn and grow, regardless of age or skill. The schools offer children’s classes, private lessons, adult group classes, ensembles, pre-professional mentoring, performances, exhibitions, cultural events and professional services, with the goal of fully serving the community.

GHMS provides conservatory-level training in a non-competitive atmosphere for students of all ages.

Our faculty has trained in many of the world’s finest institutions, and Germán Diez, who serves as chair of the piano department, has mentored generations of musicians with a level of artistic excellence unparalleled in the world of community music school education. Even though our primary focus has been music, we also provide instruction in dance and the visual arts, as well as early-childhood education programs. Countless American composers have premiered works in the Renee Weiler Concert Hall, and the recent addition of our STUDIO Apartment provides an opportunity for students to learn about the art of sound recording, working with the latest computer programs to create music for the concert hall or a media project. GHMS fosters a strong collegial atmosphere among the staff and faculty. Many of our students maintain a life-long connection with GHMS, returning again and again to continue their studies in a supportive and nurturing environment.

“I love playing the violin. It can be hard,

but my instructor makes it fun.”
