Thanks to Harlem Stage WHEELS students got to write songs with the great Maimouna Youssef (aka Mumu Fresh). WHEELS 5th and 6th graders worked with Ms. Youssef at WHEELS on Wednesday, and WHEELS 6th-12th grade band students worked with Ms. Youssef at Harlem Stage on Thursday.

Band students and families enjoyed a celebratory meal together yesterday evening to kick off the 2019-2020 school year!

We're very proud of the six WHEELS students who just completed MSM Summer, a competitive summer music program at Manhattan School of Music. They performed with the Latin band, jazz band, R&B band, chamber groups and choral groups consisting of student and professional musicians from all over the world!

Today one of our high school band students performed at Dizzy's Club as part of Jazz at Lincoln Center's Summer Jazz Workshop!

Congratulations to WHEELS 8th graders and 12th graders for completing one chapter of their lives and moving on to the next four years! Yesterday band students performed at both graduation ceremonies.

On Monday night WHEELS students and Annette Aguilar opened Jazz Power Initiative's production of Nora's Ark. Thank you to Annette Aguilar and Jazz Power founder Eli Yamin for their support of WHEELS music!

Congratulations to our 7th-11th grade band that performed at the Manhattan Borough Arts Festival at the Apollo Theater this evening!
