After School Music Program
Private lessons for all students.
Gilman's After School Music Program currently provides private individual instrumental instruction for 140 students. The most popular instruments currently are piano and guitar, but students also are studying the violin, drums, and wind and brass instruments.
Faculty members teaching in the ASMP are all professional musicians and are graduates of major conservatoires such as the Peabody Conservatory, Juilliard School, and the Manhattan School of Music.
All 2020-2021 After School Music Program lessons will only be offered virtually until further Notice.
