Welcome to KOKO Music DUMBO! We offer Early Childhood Music Classes for children aged 3&4 inspired by Solfège techniques, as well as private/semi-private lessons for PIANO, GUITAR, and VOICE at all levels.
We are a small, family-owned music school that values intimacy and coziness. Our aim is to offer quality lessons that are highly adaptable, allowing every student and family to develop a close relationship with each teacher, fostering a vibrant musical community. Our students range from absolute beginners to advanced learners, spanning from 3 to 80 years old! We provide performance chances twice a year at a professional music venue.
KOKO means "here" in Japanese, and this is the place where we all make music harmoniously together. KOKO MUSIC cultivates a collaborative creative environment where music learners from all backgrounds can enjoy, explore, express, and expand their musicality.
Our practice utilizes unique and individualized methods that enhance the students' learning experiences through tailored programs. Our goal is to cultivate and provide student-centered, positive, engaging and quality musical experiences in intimate and comfortable settings to expand the potential in students of all abilities.

MISSION & PHILOSOPHY
1. We put a huge emphasis on building healthy, positive, and engaging teacher-student relationships.
2. Not only do we work closely with students, but also with their parents to support and guide them through. We strongly believe that the parents' engagement, involvement, and loving attitude towards music are extremely important.
3. We are passionate music educators rather than musicians. We care and respect every student's uniqueness, learning style, strengths, and needs to carefully tailor individualized programs which are extremely important factors in order to spark interest and skills.
4. We cherish the bond and community that music can build, and strive to support our students' learning journey along with their families.
