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.

Today, it stands proudly as the only community music school in the country for people who are visually impaired.
