To meet the growing demand for our patented music training program, BYCA has launched the BYCA Music Annex in a satellite location at Restoration Plaza in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. This program gives Prep Division choristers the option of receiving all of the benefits of BYCA's training off site, allowing more families to benefit from its offerings.
