Professional Music Instruction

At New Jersey Drum School, you’re guaranteed to receive the best possible education in music. Whether you’re interested in playing the drums, orchestral percussion, the violin, or jazz piano you’ll receive an education that will put you in the company of those with the highest standards.

We value a close relationship between students and their parents. No matter how good the education is, practicing outside of class is crucial to becoming a better musician. That’s why at New Jersey Drum School, we believe parents should encourage their children to practice on a regular basis and attend at least one world-class concert per year. Having supportive parents, along with a great education, is integral to each student’s success.
