Lakehouse Music Academy 619 Lake Avenue, Asbury Park, NJ 07712

"You can learn to play music at any age at Lakehouse Music Academy. Being part of a band is a great way to grow as a musician, meet great people and play at some great venues. Love being part of this wonderful community."

"I have been a part of Lakehouse Music Academy since October 2021, and I have nothing but great things to say. I am currently enrolled in the Artist Program on Monday nights instructed by Juan and I also take private lessons with Chris Chrisman for music production. The Artist Program has helped me further hone my songwriting skills as I've been gradually learning how to apply music theory to my writing process. I've also done more co-writing in the last 8 months than I have in my life. In addition, my lessons with Chris have really elevated my craftsmanship to another level that I didn't know was possible. He has been super encouraging and informative throughout my journey. Our lessons mainly consist of learning different elements of Logic and how to create a fully produced- mixed and mastered project from conception to completion. There's a lot to learn, but he's been nothing but patient and helpful throughout my process. With his help and guidance, I have finished more songs in the last few months than I have in years. I wish I had a program like Lakehouse when I was growing up - if you're at all interested in songwriting, learning how to play an instrument or learning how to produce your own music, I HIGHLY recommend checking them out"

"I've been a student with Lakehouse for just about a year now. I started in the adult night sessions, then started taking piano lessons and now I've just taken it to another level with joining the artist program. I'm blown away by the compassionate, kind and supportive staff. Each person I've collaborated with has been incredibly talented and inspiring. For anyone looking to develop your skills as a musician, Lakehouse is a wonderful community to team up with. The professionalism and talent is overwhelming. I'm excited for what's to come!"

"Last weekend, my son performed in his first "Big Gig" with Lakehouse Music Academy (6/19/21). As a fellow musician, I also had a gig that night so we were in full music mode. Having just finished his first session with a new band, I was blown away by their set. it was tight, creative and full of energy. And, while the kids were all smiling ear to ear the entire set, so was their instructor, Kay, who was possibly having an even greater time than they were playing with them. Lakehouse has been 10/10 stars since the moment my son and I went there for a tour. After an in-depth discussion between my son and Ben Marino, Ben was 100% certain he knew where to place him. I certainly didn't doubt him, but he was spot on. My son instantly took to the band and the set list that was already in motion. That says a lot about how professionally run this program (and the school) is. In addition to performing, my son has a weekly vocal lesson with a fantastic instructor. The benefits of these lessons (only a couple of months in) were instantly seen at the show as well. I can't say enough how enthusiastic I am about the program, other than to say my son is even more so than I am (which is how it should be). If you are contemplating getting involved with Lakehouse, you've probably already waited too long. Just like we did. My son only wishes he got involved sooner and he talks about it everyday. Couldn't be happier."

"Lakehouse Music is not only a music school, but a place where you experience music not only from the lessons and classes but from the incredible culture that lives among every teacher and student. It is alive, vibrant, inviting and it draws you in from the joy each employee brings and the growth and changes you see in your child. Everyone works hard to give their very best and it shows. My children LOVE all of the kids classes with Miss Kim and I can not say enough about how knowledgable and graceful Emily Grove is teaching her vocal lessons. Love the experience Lakhouse provides. So happy to be part of this community!"
