In Harmony with Your Needs
With 130 students ranging in age from five to 95, The Filomen M. D’Agostino Greenberg Music School at Lighthouse International is dedicated to helping people pursue their interest in, and study of, music while overcoming the challenges posed by vision loss. Students include children and young people enrolled in public and private schools, colleges and universities; professional musicians — and anyone interested in enrichment through lifelong musical learning.
Founded in 1913, our Music School is dedicated to artistic and educational excellence, garnering high regard among music schools in the New York area. Today, it stands proudly as the only community music school in the country for people who are visually impaired. We also serve as a resource to music educators and performers nationwide as the leading provider of accessible music instruction.
