Their teaching staff is among the best in the region, all of whom are professional artists and musicians. Their group art classes are intentionally small to allow for individualized attention. The music classes are one-on-one and the school offers 30, 45 or 60-minute increments. They accept children as young as 6 and offer lessons for adults, too.

Parents, think twice before sending your child here! C2 Education is a for-profit business that…read moreprioritizes sales over students and rakes in millions of dollars each year. The center director is purely money-minded and is only concerned about meeting her sales targets for the month. She was very pushy in getting my husband to sign our daughter up. Before one could begin tutoring lessons, C2 forces you to sign a lengthy contract. We, like many others, were told tutoring hours never expire--a BIG FAT LIE! Buried in the fine print was an expiration date. C2 will say anything to get you to sign your child up. I've heard from a former center director at a different C2 location that tutoring hours were once honored indefinitely despite what the contract actually said, until one day C2's corporate office sent out an email saying an expiration on tutoring hours must be enforced. Completely unethical way of doing business. As for tutoring--it SUCKS! Some tutors are great, but others are god awful. Sessions last 2 hours with 3 students per tutor, leaving my daughter stuck doing bookwork with minimal interaction. She hated it and got nothing out of it. C2 is among the most expensive tutoring options, with some families spending upwards of $20K. For that price, you'd be better off hiring a private tutor for actual one-on-one attention. Don't like C2 and want a refund? Good luck! C2 will ignore calls and emails, drag its feet, and, if you're lucky, refund only a tiny fraction of what you paid. Lastly, beware of fake 5-star reviews on Google. Don't be fooled. After every negative review, there's a sudden burst of suspiciously similar positive ones, often from accounts with just one review. Case in point--after a previous negative review, a wave of glowing reviews suddenly praised "Rob's essay writing." For the real truth about C2, check reviews on Trustpilot (3-star average) and the Better Business Bureau (F rating, unaccredited). Attached are screenshots of a C2 center director job description emphasizing sales over education and Glassdoor/Indeed reviews exposing the reality from employees themselves. A former C2 center director even admitted on Indeed they were 'trained to fool the customer to buy more hours.'

I finally found the perfect cello teacher! Megan Rayl from Metuchen Music Academy…read more A good teacher adapts their style to fit the students needs. As an adult student that never played an instrument before, I obviously need to learn the basics. But I have been listening to music all of my life and I would like to learn to play some of my favorites. Every teacher I tried taught me from a Cello Book One - it was boring and not motivating. Megan is teaching me the technique and theory that I need while we are working on the Bach Cello Suites! It is amazing! She isn't just teaching me to play the cello, she is teaching me to play music! This is exactly what I wanted my retirement to be like. Thanks to Megan!
