Turtle Bay Music School

Turtle Bay Music School was a community music school located on the East Side of Manhattan in New York City. Originally established in 1925 at the Grosvenor Neighborhood House on East 49th Street in Turtle Bay, the school later purchased a three-story building on East 52nd Street and operated at that location for over 80 years. In addition to providing musical instruction, Turtle Bay Music School also offered classes and workshops in expressive therapies involving art, dance, drama and music. The institution sold its property to a private developer in 2018 and moved to a newly renovated space on East 38th Street in Murray Hill, but closed less than two years after relocating due to financial difficulties.
