About Us

The Clinton Hill Music School has been serving its neighboring communities of Clinton Hill, Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, Prospect Heights, and Fort Greene since it’s inception in 2012. The school provides an outlet for both children and adults to express themselves and the opportunity for them to follow their own musical curiosities. In three short years, CHMS has become a large community of enthusiastic music students ranging from 2-year-olds to adults. Founders Marty Isenberg and Jen Herman have watched countless students overcome personal hurdles to give stirring performances in recitals and master classes and even go on to be accepted into competitive music programs such as LaGuardia High School and the Chamber Music Conference of the East.

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 in to any specific method. We draw from our training and experiences to discover what inspires each student.

A Note from Marty and Jen

''The spirit of camaraderie and kindness is what we’ve come to love about Brooklyn and our neighborhood. The diversity of people, ideas, passions, both strongly artistic and otherwise, inspire us daily. Having the opportunity to share our passion and watch others become inspired is why we do what we do.''
