History:
Brookline Music School, a private, nonprofit community school for the arts, is the oldest and largest cultural institution in Brookline. Founded in 1924 by the Brookline Public Schools, the School became a private organization in the 1940s and was incorporated as a private, nonprofit school in 1964. In 1994, following a successful capital campaign, the School moved into its first permanent home in the Hill-Kennard-Ogden House.
Brookline Music School constitutes a unique model of cooperation between public and private sectors. Its original purpose was to enhance the Brookline Public School orchestras by providing music lessons to the children of Brookline after hours on school premises. To this day, the Brookline Public Schools continue to generously donate classroom space to BMS for private music lessons.
Enrichment
The Brookline Music School believes that music education is a joyful and enriching experience for people of all ages. The ability to make music education available to everyone in the community has always been a prime responsibility of the School. A Scholarship Program, funded by the School’s Annual Fund, provides over $38,000 annually in tuition assistance to students who might not otherwise be able to take music lessons.
The School’s faculty comprises 91 highly qualified musicians and educators, most of whom hold graduate degrees and are considered experts in their fields. In order to attract and retain such stellar musicians, a Faculty Enrichment Program awards grants so that faculty members may continue their education with advanced training courses, workshops, master classes, and ongoing lessons.

Children Do Not Belong In Roggies, Mon 12 Feb 2007
Hi there, I attended a recital for a friend's son at Roggies today. I also went to the Ryles for the former session. I think it is irresponsible and unnessarry to have children in a bar setting. These are children and do not have to play up to adult circumstances. I do hope that the Brookline Music School reconsiders this venue for further recitals. Thanks
