      Since it’s inception in 1981, the Shostakovich School of Music, Art and Dance, has grown from a dream envisioned by a small group of Russian emigrants, to a vibrant multifaceted music and art institution with three centers in the metropolitan New York Area.

    • Students enrolled at the Shostakovich School are encouraged to achieve their maximum potential and to experience the satisfaction that comes from the study and mastery of the arts.

    • The curriculum has been designed to motivate students to participate fully in the educational process and to relate their studies to life, to society, and their own personal development.

    • This philosophy of education gives inspiration to our students throughout their lives, whether they become professional artists or active amateurs.
