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.

Susan and Anthony have built a wonderful business in Treblemakers. As a professional musician and…read morecomposer, I have a fairly high standard and high expectations for the musical training of my daughter. Treblemakers has exceeded those expectations. Susan not only teaches singing; she teaches *music*. Her lessons focus on the fundamentals of musicianship while maintaining my daughter's interest with fun exercises and great song choices. All the while, Anthony runs the office with aplomb, always communicating with the parents and keeping on top of the scheduling. We're extremely pleased to have found this wonderful company. -Frank P via Liz P

Our kids have been taking piano lessons with Suzan at Treblemakers for a few years. Suzan is the…read moremost amazing piano teacher, musician, and mentor. My kids love her! She creates special programs to suit the interests of the student but insists upon building core competencies such as reading music, scales, singing/comping, etc. Our friends' kids have Alexandra and love her as well. The students in the program are comfortable playing jazz, classical, pop, rock, etc. and aren't stuck in one genre. Treblemakers tailors the program to your kid's interests so you can request any song and they will work out appropriate arrangements. But don't worry - the teachers at Treblemakers all have been trained at the top music schools and have the chops to teach very difficult classical and jazz pieces as well. Most programs will not have the breadth that Treblemakers provides. (Kids can also learn a multiple instruments as well.) Suzan wrote her own method books that have great catchy tunes and they layer and layer until kids gain all the core skills including scales, chords, arpeggios, major/minor, etc. Then all of sudden the kids are really ready to play anything... Treblemakers is a family business with scheduling run by Anthony who also inspires the children, has a deep interest in the education of all students, and always makes sure the kids and parents are happy and reaching goals. We highly recommend Treblemakers and know that our kids will have the love of music and all the skills needed to enjoy playing music for the rest of their lives.

The Perdormance Program gives the kids the opportunity to learn how to perform in front of people on stage at various venue. Performing teaches kids how to problem solve on the spot while on stage as things can go wrong in a live show. How the kids handle whatever went wrong is important and teaches them how to work as a team to resolve the problem. The environment is incredibly supportive and the instructors are all working musicians with a strong desire to share their knowledge with the students. Students that have interests in different areas of music just need to ask in order for the instructors to happily share their knowledge and experiences. School if Rock Montclair is open 7 days a week and also offers summer camps that run a week long from 9:30 -3:30 Monday -Friday with a Saturday lunchtime performance. You will be amazed at how quickly the children learn how to play an instrument.

My husband and I thought the music school itself was wonderful. The trial class was engaging, and…read moremy daughter really enjoyed the lesson. Our personal concern--and this may not matter to other parents--was that my daughter spoke less about the class itself and more about why some of the male instructors were dressed in ways that confused her at her age. Explaining to her why males were dressed as women was not what I wanted to do at this age. While I respect personal lifestyle choices, I personally prefer an environment where my young child's focus is fully on the class and music rather than these kinds of distractions. Overall, the teaching quality seemed good, but this particular aspect made me realize the school may not be the right fit for our family
