“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“We are so grateful for the instruction and support our son has received at the Noteworthy Academy of Music in Township of Washington.The teachers here are dedicated and create an encouraging environment that fosters both skill and confidence. The academy not only nurtures a love of music but also helps prepare students to succeed in competitive settings like county band and regional band auditions. We highly recommend Noteworthy Academy of Music to families seeking quality music education.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“My 2 sons have taken lessons at Architekt Music since they first opened in Glen Rock, on various instruments with various instructors. They have always been happy with their teachers and have progressed beautifully. Architekt's admin team is a dream....no matter who I speak or email with, they are super responsive, accommodating, and kind. Both the Glen Rock and Butler studios are beautiful and I love going to see the end of semester shows at the Butler stage. Their prices are very reasonable and I appreciate that they don't require you to sign up for an ensemble class, unlike another local music franchise with the initials SoR. ;) I will never forget how seamlessly Architekt pivoted to virtual lessons at the beginning of the Covid pandemic. I was so grateful to them for quickly offering lessons via Zoom so that my sons could keep their routines during a very scary and uncertain time. Shout out to instructors Alex (guitar) and Janine (piano) for making such a great impact on my boys. I highly recommend Architekt Music!“

“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!“

“Mama, Jen, Pam and the entire staff are sweet, welcoming and extremely skilled in hair braiding. I always walk away satisfied and the energy in the store calms me as well.Exquisite pieces of art all over the store as well.Jen did my hair in the photos shown.“

“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.“
