About Octopus Music School South Plainfield
Since 2009, we have been teaching students not just to play music, but to understand it. Our teaching staff is comprised of exceptional instructors, who, using our proprietary flexible curriculum and assessment program, OPUS, help students establish a firm foundation upon which to build a lasting relationship with music. OPUS was built by Octopus from the ground up with one thing in mind; providing students and parents with a clear path towards advancement. Each level is designed to provide students with the necessary scaffolding to make steady, measurable progress, and build the skills and repertoire to play with other students across a number of instruments. Whether the goal is to master the drums, learn a new style on the piano, audition for first chair violin, or just play a few songs on the guitar, our curriculum materials and expert instruction have been helping students realize their musical goals for over a decade.

The classes, camps and experiences this business offers.
PIANO LESSONS AGES 5+
Piano is one of the simplest instruments with which to produce a sound but one of the hardest to master. The coordination between the right and left hands combined with using the feet and reading two lines of music can seem overwhelming for new students. With a step-by-step approach and endless patience, we make learning the piano fun and comprehensible for children and adults alike.
VOICE LESSONS AGES 7+
Everyone can sing! Yes that means you! When someone describes his or her singing as “flat”, this simply means that person doesn’t know how to use his or her voice to it’s fullest potential. Despite the fact that singing feels like it should come naturally because it utilizes an instrument that we are born with, there are a number of important techniques that one must be aware of in order to sing well which is the main focus of our voice lessons.
Our voice instructors can help you identify your range, develop effective breathing habits, and not just teach you how to carry a tune, but how to use all of your voice and guide you towards songs that are right for you.
DRUM LESSONS AGES 5+
Have you ever tried to rub your stomach and pat your head at the same time? How about rubbing your stomach, patting your head, and stomping your feet, all at different rhythms? This is what playing the drums is all about; perfect coordination and synchronization between different parts of the body.
At Octopus Music School our drum lessons span many styles from rock to jazz and latin. Our instructors’ expertise covers countless styles and we welcome all drummers from complete beginners seeking to get started to seasoned players aiming to expand and grow. We offer full kit drum lessons as well as instruction on hand percussion such as congas, bongos, djembes, etc.
