If you watched the story of Janet Jackson their father demanded that they learn starting from a very young age. The rest is history. So to all the young kids out there today if you have an opportunity to learn, then grab it and put your heart into it. Maybe someday you'll become a famous musician.

Tony + Jobelle are super friendly and helpful. As for my skills! I learned so much and I'm so happy I came here. Honestly, I was in a weird slump - I wanted something that I can do on my own - that I was passionate about and this did it for me. I'm definitely continuing to the intermediate level! Our class stayed small and the people in it are super cool. Everyone was super down to earth and easy to talk to. I knew nothing about how to play a guitar and now I'm actually playing along to songs which feels amazing. I always like to sing a long to karaoke in my apartment so now it feels good to sing along to my guitar lol.

I also really wanted my kids to learn from a teacher that could teach them not just classical piano- but jazz and music theory so that they could have a good foundation to do whatever instrument they want in the future. Jaren is exactly what we were looking for and more! I love that he plays games to teach them sight reading, does call and response songs to train their ears, has them choose their favorite songs to play, and best of all- he is super enthusiastic and an encouraging teacher. It has been a year since we first started classes, and my 7 & 9 year old still look forward each week for their piano classes and love Jaren. He is such a warm & personable teacher that also shares his love for music with his students. We are SO fortunate to have found him, and his class even during covid via zoom has been very productive and great quality. Jaren is truly the best in Berkeley!

It was hard to find a good piano teacher in our area. There aren't very many good options. I am so glad we found Jaren. He is a talented piano player, an excellent piano instructor. He is skilled in his craft and brings a wealth of knowledge. Jaren is very diverse in many genres. My son has attention deficit disorder. Every week Jaren comes prepared with new music, concepts, lessons for my son. He enjoys the songs that he assigns. It helps keep him motivated and interested. Jaren shares his learning experience and is very encouraging. My son learns a new concept in each lesson. I can already see a difference from his previous piano instructor.

It's getting the right teacher that makes the program so worthy to go with your child. I see Music…read moreTogether locations closer to this but go to Berkeley Heights for the teachers. Patricia (the owner and director of the program) and Jeng-jiu (who no longer teaches..miss her!) are note-worthy teachers who really knows music , understands children, cues in to your child and folds in your child's behavior into the music program while maintaining enthusiasm and fun in the classroom. This studio is small and located at Laura's Dance Studio. she maxed at 10 children as that means 20 or more people in the studio (with the parents and instructor). There's 9 music programs - Bongos, Triangle, Tambourine....etc I've attended about 5 of them. They give you a booklet about the program and that children can either be verbal or movement to music but eventually they become both as they grow older. The music class is perfect in my opinion for children 15 months to 3.5 years old but I've seen children less than 15 months and children older than 3 years. I see this class as a great way for them to learn vocabulary, speech, listening skills, instrument play and body movement - all intelligent traits that we want our child to be well-rounded in development. Cost is $185 for 10 weeks and a one time only family fee of $15

I've taken my son to Music Together classes with Patricia for nearly three years (since he was 4…read moremonths old) and am looking forward to doing the same with my younger son. The cds are fantastic--I find a lot of kiddie music to be quite grating, but the Music Together songs are really lovely. As for the actual classes, they are fun, active, and age appropriate. They also offer a great opportunity to focus on your child in a loving and relaxed environment. I agree with the other poster that the teacher makes all the difference. I know of several families who have moved out of the area and continue to travel to Berkeley Heights to take classes at this particular center. Having participated in classes with Patricia while my son was every age, from infant-3yo, I've been able to see and appreciate the way she tailors her activities to the needs of the children in each class. If the kids are particularly active, there is a lot of dancing and movement. If there are a lot of small babies, she does activities to keep them engaged. If a mom has three children, she'll help by engaging one of them (carrying the baby, for instance, or enlisting an older one to help carry an instrument box). I've taken several makeup classes with other teachers, and found them all to be excellent as well. This was our first "Mommy & Me" class and is still our favorite. A lot of classes are very cheesy (which I can't stand) and these are not. Just fun and music :)

Where do I start?!!! There are so many great things about lightbridge!…read more 1. Postpartum first time mom: our first child we waited a year to start in daycare. When you drop off you have that anxiety that NOBODY can care for your child like you. You know their different cries, their schedules, Cues. They don't know these strangers. What if the teachers can't do it like you? Well, the teachers arent you... they do it like professionals!!! You only have 1 kid... they have multiple. I've walked into the room so many times impressed that they do this day in and day out with a smile. I remember sitting at a red light soon after starting, and my daughter kept putting her hand towards her mouth. She did this a couple days before I realized she was using sign language!!! My husband and I instantly started practicing so we could recognize what our daughter was saying! It was amazing to feel we could communicate with her, and she wasn't as frustrated because we could understand her! As she she gets older, se switches to new teachers. They do a great job introducing them gradually before the full switch! 2. Baby #2 we started at 5 months old. Equal amount of tears in my eyes as I dropped off. I instantly pulled up the camera and watched them hug her and shake some toys to get her attention. My anxiety was related to bottles this time. My daughter never had a bottle. Exclusive breastfeed. We tried introducing a bottle around 4 months, using all the tricks. But no success. How would my baby eat?!!!! I was so lucky that I work next door. The teacher would give it a couple attempts and if no success they would call me and I'd walk over. They let me nurse in the backroom. I did this for a week or 2 until finally the teachers messaged me in the app saying SUCCESS!! She took her first full bottle! They were just as excited and proud as I was. The app communication center is great. Even now, we had an unusual drop off that the girls were both emotional and "off". I can just send a message "how is their day going" and they keep me in the loop!! Great piece of mind! There isn't a bad teacher in the bunch!! All the teachers know our kids names, even if they aren't in their class! We walk down the hallway and they all use their names when saying goodbye for the day!!!

During the day, I receive live updates on her activities with pictures. If I have a question, I am able to email the teachers, and they respond during naptime. You are able to sign your child up for a sports class that they have once during the week. I can not recommend Lightbridge Academy enough to my friends.
