Mahwah music lessons — FAQ

Where do Mahwah students take music lessons?

At the Real Brave studio at 350 Ramapo Valley Rd, Suite 10, Oakland, NJ 07436 — about a 10-minute drive from Mahwah via Route 202 south along Ramapo Valley Road. Students can also take the same 1-on-1 lessons live online through PracticePad™.

What instruments can Mahwah students learn?

Guitar, piano, drums, bass and voice, plus ukulele, violin and songwriting. Every lesson is one student with one dedicated teacher — never a group class or a rotating instructor.

How much do music lessons cost for Mahwah families?

Starter is from $57/month (one 30-minute lesson a month). Weekly private lessons run $189/month for Tier 1 and $299/month for Tier 2, both with a quarterly option that saves $100. The 16-week Ten Song Sprint is $1597. Every tier includes PracticePad™. Lesson pricing and tiers →

Do you teach adults, or just kids?

Both. Roughly a third of our students are adults — beginners in their 30s, 40s and 50s, and returning players picking an instrument back up. Evening slots are the most popular with Mahwah adults.

Can Mahwah students perform live?

Yes. We run about a dozen showcases, recitals and open mics a year on a real stage with real lights and sound — not a folding chair in a hallway. Band programs are available in Tier 2.

What if we have to miss a lesson?

Cancel by 9 AM the day of your lesson through PracticePad™ and reschedule based on availability. Most schools demand 24 hours; we know how Bergen County weeknights actually go.

Do you offer online lessons for Mahwah students?

Yes — live 1-on-1 lessons through PracticePad™, with the same teacher and curriculum as in-studio. Many Mahwah families blend both across the year. Online music lessons nationwide →
