Access to music and dance education is a right, not a privilege.
Following their first year of study, students attending one of our Third Street Partners public schools are eligible to participate in Partners@3rd, a program that provides free and low-cost group classes held after school and on weekends at Third Street’s home on East 11th Street. These classes are offered across a variety of instruments and dance styles.

During the first year, students receive free tuition for the full school year (September – June). Students returning for a second year of group classes pay $300 in tuition. Tuition assistance is available.
TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS PROGRAM IN 2019-20, CHILDREN MUST MEET ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA:
- Be between the ages of 6 and 14 as of December 1, 2019.
- Attend a public school that has partnered with Third Street Music School Settlement for music or dance instruction in 2018-19.
- Never enrolled in Third Street’s after-school/weekend program at any time during the past two years.
- Attend the Partners@3rd Open House in the spring and register for classes starting the following September.
