About Music Notes
In 2000, Music Notes Academy began as an in-home music lesson provider, starting with drum lessons in Bridgewater, NJ. The approach was comprehensive instruction, teaching percussion students how to play the drums, read music, learn music theory and gain proficiency in rudiments and performance techniques.
In 2006, we began teaching all instruments and offering student concerts, recitals, percussion ensembles and rock bands in Madison, NJ at The George Burroughs Auditorium. For school year ’09-’10, we launched Music Notes In Your School and we became the Purnell School’s music education provider.
In school year ’10-’11, Music Notes Academy acquired Brunswick Music Academy in East Brunswick, NJ. We then began teaching music theory, musical theater classes and workshops, developed our LittleNotes early childhood program and expanded our musical instrument sales, rentals and repairs division. We introduced Summer Nights at Music Notes, Saturday Concert Series and continued teaching Rock Bands and String Quartets. We were nominated and won SBDC’s Small Business Success Award for 2012.
Starting with the ’12-’13 school year, we became Whitehouse Prep’s music education provider where we instructed their daytime music classes. This great relationship blossomed into opening within their school and teaching private music lessons as Music Notes’ Whitehouse Station location.
In 2015, we released our Learn Today, Play Tomorrow® Student Assignment Book through backbeat Music Publishing and became the staff and producer of MAMTG’s nationwide Student Music Festival. In August 2016 we moved to our current building, which is larger and more suitable for our students and parents. As a leading member music school for MAMTG, Music Notes has been integral in the improvements and enhancements of its student music festivals since 2015.
We continue to collaborate with local professionals and organizations in music education. We were an affiliate store for Music & Arts from April 2016 through March 2018. We began a partnership with Song Piano in November 2016 which has led to Music Notes Academy having a Song Piano Kawai piano at our East Brunswick Academy for students learning piano. School Year ’17-’18 saw the beginnings of a great partnership with State Theatre NJ. Summer Semester 2018 saw a new partnership with Piano Piano in NYC for piano rentals, sales and service.
For Music Notes Academy, everything we’ve done since the first music lesson in 2000 has been centered and focused around a comprehensive approach to learning music. We are passionate about teaching music to students and adults, encouraging the musical arts and sharing in the benefits of a music education.

“Thanks for your help. When we came home after today’s (guitar) lesson, Ibrahim told his grandmother that he had fun and was excited to play.”

What a great music school! Love instructor Sean and Director Brandon and other highly qualified and experienced staff. Great talents!!! Also loved their fabulous work organizing the MAMTG Student Music Festival 2017.
Music Notes Academy is absolutely wonderful! Brandon was incredibly professional and so easy to work with. The teachers love what they do and know what they are doing. It was such a pleasure to work with them and I can’t wait to continue my lessons!
My daughter began classes with this school three years ago. The individual attention, support and patience displayed by their instructors is amazing and has helped my child become more passionate about piano.
My daughter has been attending Music Notes Academy since she was three and I would recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn any instrument at any age. Mr. Stephen is the best! Love him! And Brandon is awesome as well. They are both the most kind sincere and patient teachers I have ever seen. They are dedicated to their students and truly want them to reach their full potential.
We are very happy at our new home at Music Notes Academy for our 10 year old playing violin. Immediately after the trial lesson my daughter was enthused and identified what she was learning that had been missing at her previous place. Instruction is professional quality, well rounded and suited to age and maturity. Our eldest son is at Juilliard so we have done a lot of music instruction over the years. We highly recommend Music Notes Academy.
