Musical Instruments And Teachers near Maywood

“Our son has been with SOR Maywood since they opened and it’s been such a source of confidence for him. He’s a quiet kid and doesn’t open up easily but his drum instructor Chris is his buddy and he loves playing with his teen group. He’s excited for what’s next (so are we)“

“Carol is an truly amazing piano instructor. My daughter started with her at five years old, and we were consistently impressed by Carol's dedication. She expertly teaches technique, prepares students for exams, and puts her heart into organizing beautiful recitals at Steinway. Under her guidance, my daughter's confidence soared. Our biggest regret after moving out of state was leaving Carol's unmatched teaching. She is simply the best! She continues to check in and found us an instructor that is as amazing as she is!“

“My wife (violist) uses this shop whenever we are in the city. Always a pleasant experience, prompt communication.“

“This music school is superb! I highly recommend them, my kid is always excited to have piano lessons with Ms. Carolina!! Front desk is so helpful and receptive as well.“

“I cannot recommend the New York Conservatory of Music enough! I enrolled with the goal of learning piano, and I’ve been amazed by how much I’ve progressed. The faculty took the time to tailor lessons to my learning style, helping me not only develop strong technical skills but also gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of music. Their encouragement has fueled my passion and confidence. The personalized attention and expert guidance I’ve received here have truly been transformative.

The opportunities to perform in prestigious venues like Carnegie Hall have been incredibly rewarding, and the sense of community among students and instructors makes it a place I look forward to visiting every week. The group lessons, online classes, and master classes have provided additional layers of learning and growth. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced musician, this school is a fantastic place to cultivate your talent and love for music. If you’re serious about your musical journey, the New York Conservatory of Music is where you want to be!“

“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.“

“Awesome music ? teacher. Learned to play the 5 string banjo. Attention to detail and explanation on how to play. Thanks Greg“

“My 6 year old daughter loved Bach to Rock. Her favorite parts were learning how to play the piano and the ukulele. She had a great time at camp this summer interacting with other kids her age and learning about music. They are so nice and friendly here, I recommend this to everyone.“

“Paul is extremely knowledgeable. The level of service is exceptional as he goes above and beyond to address any issues and fixes equipment right away. Prices are also very reasonable. This is my second year with him for my son's school.“

“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.“

“My daughters (both under 10) have been taking piano lessons with Mr. Ray for about seven months. They usually learn one or two new songs each week and have made good progress. For perspective, they have been taking piano lessons since ages 4/5, and play at least 15 mins. almost every day. I think having a private teacher is good to reinforce good techniques, and look at a piece from a different angle.

We’ve been with other studios and teachers in the past, and Mr. Ray stands out as both knowledgeable and easygoing. One of the best parts of the studio is the opportunity for students to perform in recitals and play in front of an audience. The teachers even perform during the recitals, which makes them really fun events.“

“My daughter, Cynthia, took piano lessons at From the Top many years ago and it was a wonderful experience! She had a fabulous teacher who knew exactly what music to give her to keep her engaged and interested. We also enjoyed the many piano recitals that From the Top arranged! And it was a pleasure working with Lisa Plasse, the owner of the studio.“

“We truly can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience over the past three years—especially working with Peter. He has been an incredible teacher, and my kids have not only learned so much, but have genuinely developed a love for piano. Watching their growth and confidence has meant a great deal to us, and we are so grateful for the time, care, and dedication he has given them.“

“We recently had Caleb and Nikos from Little Maestros at my son's birthday party and they were SO amazing! Both Caleb and Nikos are so talented, fun, and kind. They made his party super special. Everyone was raving about them afterwards! Highly recommend for your next party!“

“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.“

“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.“

“My son has been taking guitar lessons with Sasha at the studios and I have nothing but wonderful things to say. Sasha is an excellent teacher who we can fully credit for the great progress my son has made. He is professional, patient and caring- he truly wants my son to progress and succeed. The studios have always accommodated our requests and prove top notch service. Highly recommended!“

“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!“

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

“Bach to Rock is a wonderful addition to River Edge. They really desire to give every child an opportunity to showcase their inner talents as a musician. Thank you for your generosity to St. Peter the Apostle Parish in River Edge!“

“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“

“West Amadeus is an exceptionally organized, responsive, and welcoming music school with truly outstanding teachers. Richarlita You is an incredibly talented artist and a wonderful educator — we feel so fortunate to have her as our teacher.“

“I've been taking singing lessons here for nearly 2 years, and have had such a blast. The lessons are catered to the student's goals, whether you want to learn a song or expand you vocal range, sing without tension on your throat, etc. I've taken class with Iriana, Chris, Bas, and Grace. They are all great and I focused on different things with them. Iriana helped me sing with a full sound and with great pitch accuracy, Chris helped me with really performing a song. Bas is great explaining things technically and helped me unlock my mix and higher notes. I continued to work with Grace on my mixed voice and she is great with musical theater but also Ariana Grande. I'm an alto and now have access to my mix voice and couldn't be happier. They've helped me to appreciate my voice more for sure.

I'm in my 30s. And if you, like my mom, are asking if you are too old to take singing lessons, I assure you, you are not. Also, the dumont location has a parking lot for those concerned about parking.“

“Mr. Park is a wonderful instructor. He is a true musician and a gifted teacher whose free and kind spirit naturally inspires children to explore the world of music.“

“My four year old daughter love going to sound of music studio, her teacher Juila is amazing, kind and very patient. I am very happy with my daughter progress, she plays the piano and enjoy singing.“

“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.“
