• Special_Music_School abstract "The Special Music School (New York City Public School 859), or SMS, is a unique New York public school for musically gifted children. The school is run as a public/private partnership between the New York City Department of Education and Kaufman Music Center, a not-for-profit, multi-arts organization. The Department of Education funds the academic portion of the students' education, while the music program is funded by private donations through Kaufman Music Center.Intended for children with high musical potential, the Special Music School provides a rich musical and demanding academic education for grades K-8 through an integrated curriculum with a primary focus on music. Children have two private lessons per week in piano, cello, violin, flute, French horn, trumpet, trombone, percussion, or clarinet, as well as classes in music theory, chorus, and movement. Three quarters of the students' time is spent on academic subjects. The school has partnerships with the National Dance Institute, the Center for Educational Innovation, New Visions for Public Schools, Studio in a School, Teachers College, Columbia University and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.Beginning in the fall of 2013,Special Music School will expand into the high school grades at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Educational Complex on New York City’s Upper West Side, with a music curriculum that emphasizes the development of the student as a musician for the 21st century. With the establishment of the high school extension, Special Music School High School will be the city’s only K-12 school that teaches music as a core subject. Applications for the high school will be taken beginning in October 2012. Eighth graders from all five boroughs of New York City will be eligible to apply.Students from all five boroughs of New York City are eligible to apply for admission, which is by audition. Admission is extremely competitive. In recent years there have been as many as 500 kindergarten applicants for 15 spaces. The total enrollment for all grades (K-8) is approximately 135 students.The school was founded in 1996 and was originally called The Special Music School of America. Inspired by the "spetsshkola," special music school system of the former Soviet Union, many members of the music faculty are Russian-conservatory trained musicians.In the fall of 2006 the Special Music School established the after-school Young Artist Program for grades 9–12. It offers music students intensive after-school study courses. Each week students have classes covering literature and composition, music theory, and ear-training. Students also perform in chamber music and solo recitals.In 2005, Special Music School Director Jenny Undercofler founded Face the Music, initially an 8-member after school music ensemble, and now NYC's only "alt classical" teen ensemble composed of 75 students from music students in the tri-state area aged 10 to 18. In 2011 ASCAP awarded its Aaron Copland Award to both Face the Music and Director Jenny Undercofler.".
