About Us
Lefferts Gardens Music School provides an outlet for both children and adults to express themselves and the opportunity for them to follow their own musical curiosities. Founder, Marty Isenberg, has watched countless students overcome personal hurdles to give stirring performances in recitals and masterclasses and even go on to be accepted into competitive music programs such as LaGuardia High School, Mannes Prep Pre-college, summer programs, and even professional roles on Broadway!
Teaching Philosophy
Every student is unique and learns in different ways. Having studied with so many great masters of music, movement, and pedagogy, we have gained a vast pool of knowledge and resources. Our approach to teaching is not locked into any specific method. We draw from our training and experiences to discover what inspires each student.
A Note from Marty
As a firm believer in the power of music to help people transcend and transform their lives, it has always been my mission to be both a great performer as well as an educator and advocate for music. In 2016 and 2017, Clinton Hill Music School was able to crowd-fund enough support to provide free scholarships for 6 students per year. My dream for Lefferts Gardens Music School is to continue to grow and be a force for good in the lives of our students.
