NJAOM provides a nurturing environment for students to grow and learn through music. The fun and excitement of handling an instrument and learning to make music go hand-in-hand with confidence, structure, self-discipline, and focus. From our youngest students at age 3 up through teenage years and beyond, our faculty are skilled at providing just the right balance of challenge and positive reinforcement to foster talent in each and every student and inspire them to reach for the next level of achievement.

A parent's decision to enroll their child in music instruction is often a significant turning point in their child's life. Music, whether learned as a hobby or as a goal toward a career, enriches the lives of those it touches and has a much farther-reaching impact throughout a child's life than just the obvious benefit of learning to play music. Research has consistently proven that children who study music have academic advantages, such as improved spatial-temporal and language skills, as well as artistic benefits. Taking music lessons allows children to gain emotional and artistic expression, perseverance, discipline, ability to set and achieve goals, social awareness and interaction, and more. These life skills are beneficial through adulthood and are invaluable in the pursuit of any goals one may have in life.

NJAOM offers performance and competition opportunities to provide experience preparing for an event and getting up in front of an audience to perform. This invaluable experience allows students to gain motivation and practice with purpose. A select group of our students also participate in performances throughout the community, by invitation, and learn to perform as a soloist as well as with others. NJAOM parents also have the opportunity to become involved in a variety of events and planning throughout the year, as well as joining our Parent Committee. View some of our recent performances
