The Diller-Quaile School of Music was founded in 1920 by pianists Angela Diller and Elizabeth Quaile who believed the capacity for understanding and creating music exists in everyone. Today, Diller-Quaile is a thriving community music school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan comprised of the following departments: Early Childhood (classes for infants through 7 years), Instrumental and Vocal, Adult, Teacher Training, and Outreach. The School’s faculty nurtures each student’s ability to play and sing with knowledge and expression, providing a foundation for a lifetime of involvement in music. Curricula emanate primarily from international folk music and classical music, and the School annually enrolls 1,200 students of all ages. Throughout the year, Diller-Quaile offers Rug Concerts, master classes, student recitals and faculty performances. Additionally, the School provides music outreach programs to 1,000 children and adults from underserved communities throughout New York City. Diller-Quaile is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Precollegiate Arts Schools, and is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music.
