Sweet Music Academy

​Our piano teachers teach a variety of styles from classical to popular music. Whether you want to learn a classical sonatina, rock chords, or popular sheet music, our teachers are happy to help you become the pianist you want to be. Our piano faculty will show you the fundamentals of sight reading, technique and theory, but they will also incorporate your favorite songs into your lessons. Our piano teachers have warm personalities and enjoy sharing their love for the piano with you. It is ideal if you do have a piano at home before starting lessons, but you can start lessons with our piano teachers by using an electric keyboard to practice on. Most of our students rent or buy small electric keyboards practice on at home. We recommend a keyboard that has regular sized keys and a touch sensitive response. A touch sensitive keyboard means if you press a key harder it will play louder and if you press a key softer it will play quieter.

We have some of the best vocal instructors in Ocean and Monmouth Counties. Whether you’re interested in excelling in musical theatre or want to improve your presence in pop or rock, our vocal instructors have the vast experience and knowledge to ensure you improve musically. Our voice is the only instrument we have on ourselves at all times and therefore can be the most empowering instrument.

Drums, they can either be awesome and grooving or just plain loud and annoying. We want you to sound awesome and grooving and so do your friends and family. Our drum instructors take some of the misconceptions of drumming and bring you back into a realm of musicality while still keeping that rock star drummer appeal in tact. Focusing on proper technique to prevent injuries while enabling a higher level of freedom to perform everything from a soft rock beat to a massive drum solo. You want to not only look good playing, but sound good too! Drumming is generally the backbone to all music with other instruments relying on the drummer to keep an accurate time and feel.
