“Mr. Chris is my girl's instructor and he is one of the BEST I have ever met in her world and even in my personal experience as a piano player. Teaching is one thing and being great with kids is another and he KNOWS what she is thinking. I truly appreciate the way he introduces music to her and allows her! It is not easy if it's not without a big picture!“

“It is my pleasure to give an enthusiastic endorsement to Marina Belkin as a piano teacher. Her Believe in Music Studio is an inspiring experience, with instruments mounted on the walls from all over the world. Marina is uniquely talented as a musician and teacher of music! She strives to instill the deep passion she feels for music into each student, whether young or old, beginner or advanced. While Marina is quite focused on technique, rhythm, and having her students feel the music, she also makes her lessons fun. She is patient, encouraging, and compassionate. It is wonderful to have the chance to learn from such an extraordinary piano teacher. - Linda Keesing“

“My son has been coming to this place for nine months now. He has autism, and during his first few classes, I thought he wouldn't make it, as he struggled to sit still and follow instructions. However, Enzo—his instructor—with immense patience and calm, managed over the course of a few weeks to get him to sit down; now, he is able to follow instructions and has made tremendous progress. Enzo possesses a personality that radiates peace and trust; he truly understands my son and makes him feel comfortable—and that has been the key to his progress in his drum class.“

“We have had such a wonderful experience at Rockland Music! My daughter plays piano here, and the teachers are truly exceptional, patient, knowledgeable, encouraging, and passionate about what they do. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which makes every visit a positive experience. We have seen so much growth in both her skills and confidence.“

“Very helpful, polite and professional staff. My drum teacher Dan is excellent. All around great experience.“

“Great sound quality, equipment, and overall experience.We were able to get the clarity we needed in a very comfortable environment. The equipment is well-maintained and the staff (being musicians themselves) were very accommodating to the artists. Highly recommend!“

“Our son has been going to PY rock in North Bergen for a year now and we love it. I knew we were in good hands when I heard kids playing modern cool music and we met the teacher - Abraham. Abraham really took his time to teach our son some basics about music and how it’s everywhere. He’s also super patient and kind. My son loves him and we love the school. I hope they implement DJ classes soon as I think that would be a super cool skill and song writting.“

“Needed my guitar restrung so I called the soloist. Douglass answered and said to bring it in. He took care of it immediately. Easy, pleasant, fair, no nonsense same day service.“

“Very good service..They have been in business for many years. They are veey fair and knowledgeable. I'd go back there to service my amps..“

“Have been using them for all our kids for the past 4 years. It's been an incredible experience and our kids have learned so much!“

“So incredibly happy with our experience here. The owner Mike is so nice to talk to as is Robyn who is there at the front managing the schedules for the students and teachers.“

“Mrs Lisa turned my 5 yr old into an enthusiastic music student and confident performer in only a few months. My daughter can now perform 7 full-length vocal pieces by memory and several piano pieces too. Not only is Mrs Lisa a skilled musician with genuine Broadway cred but also a great teacher helping her students build upon their strengths and also discover hidden talents they didn't know they had. It's hard to imagine finding a better teacher for my little one than Lisa.“

“Fast forward 25 years after decades of in again/off again guitar lessons when I was younger. I started taking guitar lessons with Vinny in October 2024 and have loved the experience thus far. He’s made music theory finally click. And his teaching style works with the way I learn. My playing has most certainly improved in these past few months. Looking forward to where this all can take me.“

“My son has been taking piano lessons with Ms. Joy for about four years, and we couldn’t be happier. She is incredibly patient and thoughtful in how she paces each lesson — never overwhelming him, but always keeping him motivated and engaged. What I appreciate most is how she makes learning the piano enjoyable, so it never feels like a chore.

She also goes above and beyond to create meaningful experiences for her students. Twice a year, she organizes wonderful recitals where students can showcase their progress. She makes these events truly special by recognizing each child with named trophies, medals, or thoughtful gifts. On top of that, she encourages students to participate in auditions, which has given my son valuable opportunities to grow, take on new challenges, and significantly improve his skills.

We feel very lucky to have her as a teacher and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an inspiring and dedicated piano instructor.“

“The folks who run this shop are terrific. Both of my children have rented instruments here for years. (viola and cello) I’ve never had an issue. The prices are reasonable and service is outstanding. The store is well staffed. Highly recommend for renting instruments.“

“Absolutely love music with Sean and Alex, who are kind, fun, and talented. They create a supportive, engaging environment and are extremely patient with my two boys as they learn how to interact with others and participate in group activities. Thank you!“

“Working with Regina has been…life changing (but not to be too dramatic). I’ve felt challenged and yet given the space to go at my own pace. She’s vivacious and something I love the most has been her adaptability. The true hallmark of a great teacher lies within the ability to fit the student’s mold and not ascribe one way of working, which she does in spades. Absolutely could not recommend Regina enough!“

“The best local music shop! I was lucky to take lessons here for many years in my childhood. Woodside helped me establish my love for the guitar and I still play avidly in several bands almost 20 years later. I developed advanced skills learning here.

Kind, helpful staff & great shop for new gear and repairs!“

“We recently signed our daughter up for virtual singing lessons (recommended by a friend) and she genuinely enjoys her time with Mrs. Mohan! What’s not to love about the welcoming and inspiring atmosphere that Mohan Music School brings. Their flexibility and patience are key and incredibly appreciated ❤️ if you’re looking for something to bring confidence to your kiddo’s world, whether in person or virtual, we recommend Mohan Music School!“

“It is hard to overstate our enthusiasm for the NY String Academy. The faculty members are exceptionally accomplished musicians with a real knack for working with children. Our daughter started violin in 2017 (when she was three) and piano in 2018 (when she was four). Her progress on both instruments has been remarkable, thanks to the expert tutelage of Reun Chung. As importantly, our daughter looks forward to her lessons. Ms. Chung makes learning both easy and fun - each of which is obviously critical when working with very young children. Additionally, the school is flexible and accommodating in scheduling, and offers instrument rental programs (at least for violin) that allow you to gauge your child’s interest/aptitude without having to first buy an instrument. In short, we wholeheartedly recommend NY String Academy.“

“My daughter absolutely loves it at NJ Dance Fusion. The dance teachers are amazing and the owner really builds professionals. If you are looking for a great dance school, this is it!“
