Pre-Preparatory

Start Their Musical Journey With Joy.

Ignite your child’s curiosity in a nurturing, play-based setting. Our Pre-Preparatory classes nurture a love for music through movement, songs, and games. Children build confidence and foundational skills—like rhythm and tempo—while making friends and discovering their own unique voices.

Children who will be ages 5-6 by January 1 of 2027 are eligible for our Spring Pre-Preparatory level classes, no audition necessary. Click the button below to be notified when Spring Pre-Prep registration opens.

Financial Aid

At Brooklyn Youth Chorus, we believe that every child with a passion for singing deserves the opportunity to shine. We understand that families have different financial situations, so we offer a variety of options to make our program accessible to everyone. 100% of our our families receive subsidized tuition, and 35% of families receive additional need-based financial aid.

Our tuition structure includes flexible payment plans, allowing you to pay annually or in manageable monthly installments. More importantly, we have a comprehensive need-based financial aid program and are committed to working with families who need assistance ensuring there are no financial barriers to access. Simply submit a financial aid application, and our team will be happy to help you explore the options that best fit your family's needs. We encourage all interested singers to apply, regardless of their financial circumstances. Finance should never be a barrier to participation.
