Let $E_2$, $E_4$, and $E_6$ denote the standard Eisenstein series. The usual variables $q=e^{2\pi i\tau}$ allow us to regard the $E_n$'s as functions on either the upper half plane or the unit disk and we can define $E_n'=\frac{1}{2\pi i}\frac{d}{d\tau}E_n(\tau)=q\frac{d}{dq}E_n(q)$. I had cause to calculate a few of these and saw $$ E_4'=\frac{1}{3}(-E_6+E_4E_2) $$ $$ E_4''=\frac{5}{36}(E_8-2E_6E_2+E_4E_2^2)$$ $$E_4^{(3)}=\frac{5}{72}(-E_{10}+3E_8E_2-3E_6E_2^2+E_4E_2^3) $$ $$E_4^{(4)}=\frac{35}{864}(E_4^3-4E_{10}E_2+6E_8E_2^2-4E_6E_2^3+E_4E_2^4)-40\Delta $$ and $$E_6'=\frac{1}{2}(-E_8+E_6E_2) $$ $$E_6''=\frac{7}{24}(E_{10}-2E_8E_2+E_6E_2^2) $$ $$E_6^{(3)}=\frac{7}{36}(-E_4^3+3E_{10}E_2-3E_8E_2^2+E_6E_2^3)+168\Delta $$ It's a standard fact that the derivative of a modular form is quasimodular, so it's not surprising that we have polynomials in $E_2$. I am surprised about the appearance of the binomial coefficients though. Is there a deeper reason for their appearance? Also, I wonder if the/a pattern continues. For instance, it would be interesting if it happens that there always is some $\alpha \in \mathbb{Q}$ so that $$E_4^{(n)}-\alpha \sum_{k=0}^{n} (-1)^{k+n}\binom {n}{k}E_{4+2n-2k}E_2^{k}$$ is modular (and similarly for $E_6$). The other direction you could ask if the pattern extends is for other modular forms besides $E_4$ and $E_6$. I've taken a handful of derivatives of other Eisenstein series and saw similar results. You don't get the binomial coefficients though when you take derivatives of $\Delta$, so maybe at most something general can be said is for non-cusp forms.
