I started guitar lessons here yesterday and I am so impressed…read more So, no I don't know how to play the guitar after just one lesson, but I'm excited about the possibility of getting there one day!! I have been toying with the idea of getting a guitar for several years now and finally took the plunge. I originally considered trying to learn guitar from a DVD or YouTube videos, but after trying to do chords off of a DVD, I was getting super frustrated that my girly fingers are just not long enough to stretch the way they needed to to make those chords. I started lessons here yesterday after hearing about Fort Lee School of Music from a friend. I'm so glad I did. The first lesson was really great. Mike, the owner and the guitar instructor is really patient and even better, his lessons are really individualized to how you want to learn guitar, and what you want to learn. Because I'd expressed concern about being able to reach the chords, he taught me some chromatic exercises on the lower frets, and I'm practicing moving up the fret board to give my fingers some exercise in stretching and getting used to the movements. Seems like such a great way to start. We'll see how it goes since this was just lesson #1 and I'll possibly update this review at a later time. For now though, I am really impressed and have already recommended Fort Lee School of Music to a friend who's autistic son is wanting to learn guitar.

UPDATE: After much effort, I finally reached someone who was…read moreable to help - the director of licensee relations - who is working quickly with the Bergen County to ameliorate the situation of getting the materials before class to help my son. I appreciate the response from both. I generally like Music Together, I certainly like the idea of it. A few things to consider: Don't let them sway you with class choice - I started my 6-month old, and planned to go into a baby class, but when that class was cancelled due to lack of enough registration, we were put into a more mixed age group class. My son was totally overhwlemed by the kids and the high noise level, and wasn't comfortable until the last class. He is a daycare kid, so he's used to group environments, but the music played was LOUD. I wanted to stick with it because I felt that it would be a good learning experience for us together, but I was disappointed that instead of recommending I wait a season, they put us in a class that wasn't good. The experience put a bad taste in my mouth, needless to say. Now I am gamely trying again for Fall, since he's older, and my plan of attack is to have him get familiar with the class CD in advance, so that we have more of a chance of being comfortable off the bat. Unfortunately, that plan is being thwarted by Music Together. The Bergen County organizer told me that she wouldn't get the CDs in until about a week before class starts, so there was "nothing she could do" to get it to me earlier. I called the main office in Princeton, and the woman I spoke with was astounded at my request. She said the CDs are "at the warehouse" and they "don't sell directly to the public." Let it be noted that I have already paid for my class. So my CD is in existence, just unattainable. I asked if they had a spare in the office I could borrow and send back, or if they have the files they can send me online for now. She said she would call me back and I haven't yet gotten a response. I have a hard time believing that this is the first time they've had a child who loves music but needs a little extra handholding with the crowd and the loud noise. I am a parent trying to help my child enjoy and grow with Music Together, instead I fear that we are going to spent another 6 weeks+ just getting him comfortable there, and completely missing the point of the class. Pretty frustrating, to say the least.
