What to expect from a kids' music class for teens

Music programs for young children in NYC are mostly caregiver-and-child classes — singing, rhythm instruments and movement — from a few months old up to about age 4, in 45-minute sessions that run for a term of 8 to 15 weeks. From around age 5 or 6, options split into group classes (choir, early piano, ukulele, rock band) and private lessons on an instrument. Group classes typically supply instruments; private lessons expect the child to have one at home to practice on. Most schools offer a trial class or a single lesson before you commit to a term. Teen programs (12 to 17) are fewer than for younger kids but more serious: competitive teams, advanced-level classes, pre-professional tracks and fitness programs. Many run by tryout or placement rather than open enrollment, and several of the providers listed here also take teens into their adult beginner classes, which is worth asking about when a teen class is full.
