Learn Brass & Woodwinds in New Jersey

Need a little extra help getting ready for your school band? Have you always wanted to learn how to play an instrument and realizing you do not want to put it off anymore?

Big Beat Music Studio’s instructors will help you reach your musical goals no matter what level you are, and if you need help, they can find the instrument that is right for you. Brass instrument lessons include trumpet, trombone, baritone, French horn, and the tuba. Our trumpet teachers recommend that trumpet students start at age 9 or older as they need to have developed a greater lung capacity. Because the tuba is a large instrument, keep in mind the student would need to be big enough to hold the instrument. Woodwind instrument lessons include all ranges of saxophone, clarinet, and flute. As with the trombone, we suggest that all saxophone and clarinet students are at least 8 years old to ensure their lung capacity is optimum. 

How qualified are Big Beat Music instructors?

Our instructors have received their education from prestigious institutions such as Berklee College of Music, Manhattan School of Music, Rutgers University, Westminster Conservatory of Music, Philadelphia University of the Arts, Montclair State University, State Music Conservatoire of Lithuania, Monmouth University, Harbor Performing Arts Center, Fairleigh Dickinson University and more!

Teachers are chosen for their professional teaching and performance experience as well as their warm and friendly personality.
