Michael Avery School of Music

My daughter took a few lessons here they were quite expensive and instructor was just too strict.

My son has been learning guitar with JCSoM for about five years. He was having so much fun that I was jealous and decided I had to join him, having never played an instrument before. Matt is a star and is very good at trying not to laugh at my attempts to play Ventura Highway or You've Got a Friend.

Josh Cohen School of Music is an inspiring place where students learn from talented and very dedicated musicians. The teachers are not only highly skilled in teaching the craft of playing, but more importantly encourage students to find their own voice through music and develop the confidence to perform in front of others. Both my kids attend the school studying different instruments and their progress has been amazing - both in their technique and their appreciation of music and performance. The school is also a vibrant community that encourages a sense of belonging and where both students and teachers participate together in jam sessions and bi-annual concerts. A highly recommended place for anyone interested in high quality music education.

I'm a grown-up trying to learn piano for the first time and I'm super happy with the Josh Cohen School of Music. Josh and co are lovely people who really know their stuff. They do a fabulous job of keeping it interesting with fun tunes to learn, workshops and concerts. I particularly appreciate how patient they are with beginners like me. Highly recommended!

I can highly recommend the Josh Cohen School of Music for adults learning piano for the first time or returning after a long gap like me (if you are thinking about it just do it! - I found the school on google and am so glad I did!). Learning piano as a solo instrument can be a solitary exercise- what I didn't expect was the fantastic community Josh has built up around the school- there are workshops, recitals, choir, and lots of small intimate gigs in the space by some awesome performers including musicians from the school. It's great to meet other adult learners and have opportunities to perform in a very forgiving environment.
I can recommend the school for guitar lessons, piano lessons for adults and children, singing lessons- some of my family have experienced all of the above. The teachers are amazing and all great musicians as well as teachers. And front of house staff are awesome:)

I was recommended to this school by another student to learn jazz piano. I haven’t played for years and wanted to get back into it. I am thoroughly enjoying my lessons with Joel and can’t recommend him highly enough. Everyone is friendly and accommodating and I look forward to my lesson each week.

I am taking piano lessons with Josh and really enjoy my lessons. He is a wonderful and encouraging piano teacher. I would definitely recommend this friendly place to learn music.
