Ted Herbert Music School & Rentals

"Our daughter has been taking voice lessons at Ted Herbert Music School for over a year. She has had a wonderful experience and her teacher Jackie Ward is not only a great teacher but a talented singer. We have taken lessons in other locations and we love Ted Herbert the best. Their prices are reasonable, the staff is incredible and the location is easy to get to (right off of 93). I rented and bought my first flute from Ted Herbert's WAY back in the late 80s. It is so much fun to have my daughter part of the next generation of Ted Herbert's!"

"My 12 year old daughter has been taking drama/voice lessons with Jocelyn Duford over the past year and absolutely loves her creative approach to teaching. She says that Jocelyn’s classes have helped her to improve her confidence and inspired her to further develop her performance skills. She (and I) look forward to many more years of learning at Ted Herbert Music Center!"

"Ted Herbert Music School has so many wonderful, supportive and enthusiastic music educators! Jeff Samataro is our son’s drum instructor. His instruction was the change our son needed to advance musically. Ted Herbert has a real community feel to it. Recitals are a wonderful experience for students and their families. There are so many opportunities to collaborate with other music students. Supporting community music outreach programs is so important. We thank programs like this for helping our son grow and challenge himself."

"I currently take drum lessons at Ted Hebert’s Music School under the instruction of Jeff Samataro. I can’t say enough about how pleased I am with Jeff and his ability to explain advanced concepts in an easy to grasp manner. He is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him for students of any ability."

"Our son took lessons with Jeff Samataro during his four years of high school. Jeff met him where he was as a drummer and tuned into his potential. He made learning exciting and, yes, at times, challenging. But he had a way of encouraging our son to be the best he could be. He believed in his abilities and made him work to be a better musician. It was fun because it was rewarding. Jeff made a difference in our son's progress over four years. He was an all-state Jazz drummer and first in the state his senior year. He just left for college at one of the top music schools in the nation and was awarded the Presidential Music Scholarship to study contemporary drums and sound engineering. We are thankful for Jeff's passion for teaching, his commitment to his students, and his special way of reaching each musician to get the best from them. It is evident at the Ted Herbert recitals that Jeff knows how to teach, and he loves doing it."
