We are so grateful to have found Joyful Music and Arts (JOMA)! It is not just a music school, it is…read morea character, life skills, and self-esteem factory. Our son started at age 4 in Mr. Makinto's Music Bus class. As parent watching on, I witnessed Mr. Makinto's exceptional expertise translated to our little guy's level. Mr. Makinto's calm and commanding presence consistently kept the children's attention. I am a 1st grade teacher, and I know how difficult it is to do this! From the Music Bus class, we began private music lessons. We opted to continue with Mr. Makinto, because my son formed quite an attachment; however through scheduling changes and travel needs he's had multiple teachers at JOMA all of whom are terrific! Mr. Makinto holds highest standards for both his teachers and students. Finally, there is a lovely community feel at JOMA. It's not one of those cold "music store" music classes or franchised rock and roll places. You sit on the sofa and chat with other parents while your child learns in a nearby studio. We also love gathering with the JOMA families at the yearly music concert, which is refreshingly unpretentious. We're so lucky to have been recommended to JOMA!

Wonderful place to learn music. Makinto is a great and inspirational musician and instructor…read more Other instructors are similarly skilled. We have had decades of relationship with JOMA and highly recommend them - for kids and adults alike (my husband, daughter, and grand niece all have had classes there!)

Students can perform a few times a year. Most performances are at Norris Theatre and once a year is in the parking lot between Bristol Farms and CVS. Every child (and teen and adult!) is welcome, whether they're focused on one instrument or just wanting exposure to playing music. Love that the Doll family opened this studio on the hill.

Haley at the front office is friendly and professional. Alec, Marcus are amazing guitar instructors who ensures that each kid has amazing time in music.

I highly recommend Monique Nardone Studio for anyone who is looking to improve their music skills…read more I am a beginner piano player and she has been able to help me increase my playing ability instrumentally. Her hourly rate is the best I found anywhere in the South Bay. For professional one on one teaching this is the place to come. Check it out for yourself and you won't be disappointed. She also teaches violin if you are in the market for a new teacher.

I've had excellent piano teachers in the past, but none have so evidently wanted to share the joy of music, nor encourage me to explore my own musical expression. From what I've seen and experienced, Herbert wants his students to learn, have fun, and discover all that piano music has to offer. He and Doris, who is welcoming and supportive, have created a musical gem in the South Bay.

Practiced with Herbert for many years. Not only is he a fantastic teacher, but also a great mentor…read moreand role model.
