Thank you to pianist Marjorie Eliot and the Jazz Foundation of America for an amazing concert last Friday. WHEELS 3rd and 4th graders got to sit in with the band on Duke Ellington's "C-Jam Blues!"

Yesterday the MSM outreach program started weekly group music lessons at WHEELS! We are grateful to MSM for partnering with WHEELS for the past nine years.

Thank you to Orpheus for bringing a string quartet to WHEELS to perform for and play with one of our sixth grade general music classes! The musicians also demonstrated their rehearsal process and led an in-depth discussion about teamwork and leadership with the students.

WHEELS students had a great time performing at the NYC HRA's Latino Heritage Celebration yesterday! It was the first WHEELS band performance of the school year.

The school year is off to a great start! Today 4th graders coached 3rd graders to help them read and play music on keyboards and iPads.

So proud of the seven WHEELS band students that are attending MSM Summer at Manhattan School of Music this month! Among other things they're performing with a sizzling Latin band led by composer and director Mark Brown.

Congratulations to the WHEELS 8th graders moving up to high school and the WHEELS high school seniors moving on to college! Band students helped everyone celebrate with their final two performances of the school year.
