Hochstein's Making Music, Making Strides Program:

Started in Fall 2012, this partner program with the YMCA of Greater Rochester brings 100 inner-city pre-K children from three YMCA branches to the Hochstein School of Music & Dance each week for classes that teach music and movement as well as new skills and lessons. These classes, provided at no cost to families, help children to develop not only as musicians and dancers but as complete learners. See our media coverage from:
