Agree teachers are great but admin/owner is terrible…read more If you cancel a session the day of because your child is sick, you just lose that day/money and are not offered a make-up because it's a 'late cancel'. Apparently, they want you to upgrade the package in order to be able to cancel if your child is sick? A fair sick cancellation policy should NOT be dependent on a more expensive package. That's completely ridiculous. Meanwhile, if the instructor 'late cancels', we don't get a refund....instead, we are forced to do a make-up session even when the make-up times/days is not convenient for us. We don't get a refund....they make sure THEY don't lose money, but you are out of luck if your child wakes up sick.

I have taken guitar lessons for many years with several different teachers. Presently, I am…read morestudying Jazz guitar with Mr. Rob Backof. He is by far the best guitar instructor that I have ever had. Rob is extremely knowledgeable with regard to music theory, musical notation, chords, arpeggios, scales and modes. His expertise with regard to his instrument of choice is readily apparent and Rob is very well versed with regard to all types of guitar instruction and playing including Rock, Jazz, Jazz Fusion, and Classical guitar. He is a very patient and mature instructor. In addition, Rob is a very motivational teacher, always encouraging one to do their very best, yet never critical concerning a student's progress and always generous with praise.

I have 2 grandsons going for piano lessons for a little over 11/2 years now on a weekly basis…read more When I bought a keyboard for christmas, I waited to see if they would take an interest without forcing it on them. They started playing by ear and watching videos, but I wanted them to learn how to "read music" I also wanted them to focus on something more constructive than video games etc. I am amazed at the progress they've achieved and want to acknowledge their teacher, Jordan for his patience and encouragement. 2 teenagers with ADHD that lacked confidence and would be easily discouraged are continuing to learn and enjoying playing the piano by reading music and placing their fingers correctly on the keys. I am grateful!

Barbara Smith is an amazing voice and piano teacher! Her music studio in Metuchen, NJ which…read moreprominently features her Steinway baby grand piano is a spacious and relaxing space in which to learn. She has a Bachelor's and Master's degree from the prestigious Juliard School of Music which is a rare find amongst local music teachers. She teaches classical vocal techniques and specializes in opera and musical theater. Classical techniques expands the vocal range, evens out the voice and develops beautiful colors to the voice and even singers from different genres of music will study classical vocal techniques to expand their vocal abilities and for good vocal health. She teaches both children and adult piano lessons. She is the best music teacher I have ever had not just because her techniques are flawless and she understands how to reach her students whether they are beginners, intermediate or advanced but she is patient and kind and she inspires me and her other students to do our very best. Barbara has many long term studen (I studied both piano and voice with Barbara for over 20 years) as she builds trust with her students and we always learn and grow under her tutelage. Many of her younger students have gone on to study piano or musical theater at the University level. One of her students even played piano for a former president at the White House! I cannot quite find the words to express how wonderful Barbara is. She completely transformed my voice and I became skilled at playing classical pieces on the piano which is something that I dreamed of doing since I was a child. And she helped me get a great musical foundation with gaining an ability to sight read piano scores and understand many elements of music theory that I am able to apply to other instruments. In the past I had felt a bit self conscious learning piano as an adult but Barbara always treated me with respect as she taught me the many techniques to make beautiful music on the piano.
