Daniel B. says, "Jacob is awesome! I have wanted to dive into jazz and this guy just gets it. He's super encouraging and actually makes it fun. I'm not just mindlessly pressing keys or following tutorials, I'm actually getting to learn about how music works. While our curriculum is focused on jazz, Jacob is never shy about teaching me the occasional pop tune that I want to learn. Most folks think you have to start playing an instrument as a youngster, but I'm an adult with a job and a family, and I can't believe how much I've progressed in such a short time. If you're looking for a piano teacher, this is the guy." Read more

Tim says, "Next Note Muisc has been and is a great guitar, bass, uke, Trumpet teacher to both my son, daughter and I. They are extremely knowledgeable when it comes to all kinds of string instruments. They work hard to make schedules work and have always been flexible and understanding. They relate to us very well and enjoys tailoring lessons around our goals. One week they may be playing the uke then the next guitar. It can be difficult and nerve racking finding a teacher you are comfortable inviting into you home. Finding Next Note Music was a good thing and I have never had concerns once we had our first lesson." Read more

Lisa C. says, "My son really enjoys meeting with his "Teacher Chris" weekly, not only for lessons, but also for sharing things that are going on in his life. Teacher Chris goes "above and beyond." I asked Chris to come up with a "Talent Show" act for my son and his two friends - where all three kids would play the same piano and change places. He spent hours creating a 3-part arrangement of the "Can Can." Then he spent hours and hours doing extra practice sessions with the kids. The final result was awesome!!! " Read more

Jacob is very patient, skilled, and highly informed in music theory. I learned so much and we made a lot of progress in just one lesson. Definitely hit the jackpot having him as a teacher!

There aren’t enough stars to give Debbie the review she deserves! Her vast experience and enthusiasm for her craft are invaluable. Debbie is professional and compassionate and truly cares about my daughter and her journey into the world of acting. Lessons with Debbie have resulted in more confidence and a solid foundation to continue building upon.

Dan is an amazing teacher and all around awesome guy. I started with Dan about 3 years ago thinking that there is no way I could learn how to play the electric guitar at the age of 40?! I'm so happy to report that I now can play so many of the songs I love and consider myself an intermediate player. Dan is super patient and totally open to trying new songs, even some of my depressing Joy Division favorites. Oh and talk about patience....he also teaches my daughter and her friend acoustic guitar and has to teach them One Direction and Bieber songs. Now that's patience! Highly, highly recommended.

We have been working with Chris for the past 7 years. We started with him and our daughter when she was 5-years-old. Chris is an outstanding teacher, especially with children. He is patient, encouraging and very knowledgeable about effective methods for teaching piano to children. We have continued to work with Chris all these years because he is very flexible not only with his time, but also with the curriculum. We have focused most of our daughter's training in classical piano (Beethoven, Mozart, Bach), but more recently asked for pop (Pink, Ed Sheeran) and jazz-blues (Herbie Handcock, 12-bar form) training as well; which he is fully capable of teaching effectively. Finally, in terms of experience, Chris offers many years of teaching as well as his personal experience as a professional musician into his curriculum -- introducing interesting and useful ideas that make his lessons fun and exciting.

Nicolette was such a great instructor! She was always very knowledgeable and patient with me. I learned so much from her. The lessons were started off with warm-ups/breathing exercises. Then we would work on a song that we chose together. I would sing as she made notes on what I did and didn't do well and then we'd go over those notes. The lessons were always VERY constructive and she would always leave me with exercises to help me improve between our weekly lessons. 10/10

Cathy is a pleasure to work with. I came to Cathy with no singing experience. She always takes the time to answer my questions and to develop a lesson plan specific to my needs. During my time with her she has helped me to expand my vocal range and boost my confidence to perform in public. She even provided me with some CDs with vocal exercises and warmups. I’d definitely recommend Cathy!
