What makes Music Notes Academy different?

Unlike other music schools that have a broad, programmatic approach to music education, our music curriculum is specially designed around each individual student’s needs, experience and goals. No two students are alike. We believe in tailoring our music education to best suit each student.

Music Notes’ curricular approach to teaching includes music reading and music theory, musicianship skills, performance techniques, repertoire and songs. Students receive comprehensive music instruction from our degreed and experienced music teachers who are dedicated to art of teaching. We offer structure and flexibility for our students which offers a great balance in music education.

Each student is evaluated and given a plan to help them reach their goals. In fact, 99% of our students who studied at Music Notes Academy for audition prep have been accepted into their region band and choirs, music colleges and other auditioned groups.

Success at Music Notes Academy

Music Notes Academy is committed to the musical growth and development of each student. With the encouragement and support from teachers and parents, students can expand and improve their musical appreciation, comprehension of musical knowledge and performance skills while being challenged to reach their fullest potential.

Our students have performed in concerts, recitals, assessments, and exams. Students have won 1st place at music festivals. Many have continued their musical journey collegiately, attending colleges and universities with scholarships.

Music Notes began by accident in ’00. A parent asked me to teach their son percussion. I planned and created a comprehensive curricular approach towards teaching drums. Dedication and determination to see my student succeed was the goal. Max was his name. His parents were very supportive and referred me to other parents. A local music school was born.

Music Notes' Success Award

Music Notes Academy was nominated and selected for NJSBDC’s Small Business Success Award in 2012. To this day we are still humbled and honored. We continue to strive to bring the best music education to students throughout central NJ and beyond.
