The mission of Anselmo Academy of Music And The Arts (Formerly Piano School of NYC, PSNYC) is to enrich student’s lives and broaden their perspectives by providing piano and music instruction by highly trained musicians. We seek to empower all children and adults who want to learn music regardless of talent or ability to pay. Our wide range of community based classes build self-esteem and confidence and an appreciation for the joy of music.
Established in 2001 as a community based program, Piano School of New York City (Now Anselmo Academy of Music And The Arts), a nonprofit organization,, began offering music lesson programming in Harlem and the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
Inspired by its success, piano and music classes quickly spread around town to Brooklyn, Queens, New Jersey, Rockland County, and Westchester. PSNYC creates incredible personal growth opportunities for all children and adults through first-class music education.
