Support New City School Of Music During The Coronavirus

The new coronavirus has changed life for all of us. Local businesses have taken a huge economic hit, but communities are finding creative ways to support the establishments they know and love.

In an effort to help local businesses in our communities stay connected and succeed, Patch will shine a light on some of them through a series of Q&A articles during this time.

New City School of Music is one of the businesses in town facing struggles during the coronavirus. You can lend your support by reading more about the company, below, and by contacting them here.

Tell us about your business and its history in your town.

We've been offering music lessons for five years to families in Rockland County. Our students receive top quality instruction and have the opportunity to perform in world class music venues.

How has the new coronavirus impacted your business and its employees?

Many of our students and families have lost their jobs and have not been able to continue music lessons. This has resulted in our teachers having a loss of income due to less students on their schedules.

How can local customers support you now and in the future?

We are offering online virtual music lessons until the restrictions are lifted. We have had amazing positive feedback from our current students and their families. We encourage families to consider signing up for online music lessons with us to support our music teachers who have also lost all of their performance gigs right now, as well as to give their children something to do while stuck at home. We are also giving all currently enrolled students 10 hours of free virtual classes every week to help our families reduce cabin fever.

Are you offering any special services, promotions or hours during this time?

We are offering 10-plus hours every week of virtual music classes to our currently enrolled students.
