About Octopus Music School

Octopus Music School is a private music school specializing in piano, strings, voice, guitar, and drum instruction. For more than ten years, their exceptional teaching staff, using their proprietary flexible curriculum and assessment program, OPUS (Octopus Poly-instrumental Units of Study), has helped students establish a firm foundation upon which to build a lasting relationship with music. OPUS was built with one thing in mind; providing students and parents with a clear path towards advancement. Each level is designed to provide students with the scaffolding to make steady, measurable progress, and build the skills and repertoire to play with other students across a number of instruments. Students and parents praise the school's excellent instructors, such as Miss Danielle, an exceptional voice teacher, and Mr. Tim, who provides patient and fun piano lessons that challenge students to grow and improve in their skills. The early starters program with Ms. Jenn is also highly regarded, as she focuses not only on piano skills but also on communication and building confidence. Recently, reviews highlight how the teachers encourage students and take their opinions seriously, making lessons enjoyable and motivating. The structured system makes it easy for families to pursue their child's musical development, with students excited to attend lessons and practice at home. The school’s facilities are clean and beautiful, located off rt 35 with a large parking lot. The staff, including Ms. Stella, are patient, friendly, and kind, creating a welcoming environment for children of all ages. Many students look forward to each lesson and enjoy the supportive atmosphere that helps them grow in their musical skills.

    My daughter started playing the flute after a two year break. She loves her instructor Frank. She has grown & really enjoys playing again. In fact she started learning to play the saxophone as well. Octopus offers many showcases for the kids to shine. We are very happy & highly recommend.

    We are so grateful to have found a teacher who not only teaches technique but truly inspires a love of music. Highly recommend to any parent with a budding rock star at home! 🎸 Jeff is all our son talks about these days!

    Octopus Music School is a fantastic place for kids to learn and grow with music. My son has been working with the incredible Danielle for two years and has grown leaps and bounds not only on the piano but also with music theory! His love and passion for music keeps growing and Danielle is a huge part of that - being super interactive, always encouraging and incredibly knowledgeable. 5 stars all around!
