Welcome to the Kardon-Northeast Branch
Our Kardon-Northeast (KNE) branch serves a diverse community within Northeast Philadelphia and is the main hub of Settlement Music School’s arts therapy program. Partnering with many off-site local institutions and facilities, the Branch strives to meet the various needs of our students with programs such as early childhood music classes to a variety of senior offerings. Take a look at KNE’s hallways on any given Saturday and you will see, hear, and experience a robust, active and family-friendly environment, from ballet rehearsal to Children’s Music Workshop programs and private lessons. There is a place for everyone at our Kardon-Northeast Branch!
