The Program from Bronx Art Ensemble is one of the best program in NYC. I have had the pleasure to work with the program for over two year. They have great and top artist in the Music and Drama area. Their staff are very professional with P.S. 206 M staff and students. They are great resource to our community Spanish Harlem. Thanks to Mr. Scribner for his great job in this organization
The BAE has a unique program of arts-in-education for students grade K - 12, with teachers who are professional in their fields instructing in music, art, drama, dance, hip-hop, capoeira and more. Programs enhance academic classroom work and develop a cultural awareness of the arts and their importance in one's heritage. This has been a highly successful program for many years, evidenced by exciting final performances and exhibits created by students, and great appreciation by school administrators and parents.
We have used the Bronx arts Ensemble in our schools for my entire career there, fourteen years. They have proved invaluable in providing instruction, guidance,and performances in the arts each and every year. I was able to increase my student population in instrumental music from 12 to about 100 with creative scheduling and their assistance. When I am in a classroom teaching general music, one or more of their instructors are keeping the band, violins or chorus moving along.They are the most cost effective way to keep a music program in your school. Even with the severe budget cuts this year, we were able to secure two instructors at three hours each per week for a year for about $10,000. A bargain.
The Bronx Arts Ensemble is an exceptional organization, and we've had the pleasure of working with them for many years. They have been instrumental in the development of our school's arts program, which began with just a a few courses and has since grown into a diverse selection of core and elective arts classes. Under the guidance of the Bronx Arts Ensemble's talented and dedicated instructors, our students have had the opportunity to showcase their talents in school-wide performances, and other venues as well. The Bronx Arts Ensemble has always been supportive in accommodating our school and serving our students' diverse needs, and we're highly satisfied with the quality of their services. We look forward to continuing our successful partnership with them this year, and in the future.
I have had the distinct pleasure of collaborating with the Bronx Arts Ensemble for over 20 years. They have provided me with top-notch artists in art, music, dance, chorus and drama in various schools throughout the Bronx. If I needed a specialized performance, I could always count on them to deliver a presentation to students that was engaging, instructional, and above all, fun. Their artist residencies programs in schools are always very professional and instructional. Kids always look forward to their art instructors when they are in the building. I strongly recommend the Bronx Arts Ensemble and the tremendous artists that provide high quality services to children in our schools. Kudos to Bill Scribner and the Bronx Arts Ensemble for their many years of educational services in the arts to the children in the Bronx!

Bronx Arts has been involved with International Community High School for many years. For this current year, we are working together to provide 5 different types of courses for our students to take, ranging from Hip Hop to Capoiera. Each year, our students perform at an end of semester celebration, which allows them to showcase what they have learned in the course. The teachers are creative and love their craft, and work to develop the skills of all of our students.
