My son first learned guitar here when he was 6. He is now 20 and jams out in his bass any chance he gets. Alain and his previous teachers each offered something different along his musical journey which helped my son form the love he now has with his bass. we are incredibly grateful for the opportunities they have given us!

I have been learning to play piano at Shobo Music Academy for five years and it has been one of the most enriching musical experiences I have had. Alan Chaubert is an excellent teacher who takes the time to encourage, educate and inspire all ages. I am now a semi-professional musician and Alan continues to challenge me and bring me to new heights each lesson. I would recommend Shobo Music Academy to any one of any age interested in learning an instrument.

My daughter had music lessons for many years while she was in elementary school; she studies, piano, in past violin & guitar. Most of the teachers came to our home each week. Although that was convenient, it was not the engaging experience that made learning fun and didn't inspire her to practice. Through a school friend Shobo Music Academy was recommended highly, hence Victoria tried it and has been a student for the past 9yrs. Alain has been engaging, polite an inspiring teacher that ultimately coached my daughter's playing to an entire higher level. She has been so happy with the results; working hard, learning more! Today she is playing college level piano! THANK YOU- I also want to add how enjoyable it is to see Alain perform w/his Jazz Trio, locally at Rustica Lounge Bar/Ristorante in Cliffside Park NJ. I am a jazz enthusiast and listen to WBGO every day. I have found his live performances to be outstanding and entertaining! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

My two sons have been attending Shobo Music school for several years learning piano. Alan has been an outstanding teacher. While their interest was initially hard to engage, his style of teaching quickly changed that around and they became self motivated to learn more. He is friendly, kind, encouraging and supportive, while also challenging them to push themselves. He takes a personal interest in each student and attends to each of their unique interests and areas for growth. He has also been accommodating when we've had scheduling challenges. We have been very happy with this music school!

My kids have been learning piano from there for several years now. They really like learning piano from their current teacher who has been teaching them for the past two years. Shobo Music School is a great music school.

My daughter has been going there for almost 2 years now. I'm very satisfied how much she has learned playing the piano. They work at her pace and also motivate her at the same time. Pam is the sweetest and very flexible with scheduling so everything out great.

Unfortunately my child took piano for over a year here. She was taking 30 minute lessons but the teacher( I should say teachers because they kept hiring new ones) were consistently late and let them out early. So the classes were more like 20 minutes. I finally left for lessons elsewhere when I asked my mother to bring her one day as I was exhausted. They called me and refused to give her the lesson because I had not paid for the following four weeks yet. I had already paid for the day she was there! I offered to pay over the phone although I was not pleased as her current sessions had already been paid. However that was not good enough. They asked me to come by before they would begin her lesson to sign a new contract. I was appalled. I pulled her out and continued lessons elsewhere.

My son was a student of Shobo for 8 years!! We could not have found a better teacher in Alan Chaubert. My son improved a lot in 8 years thanks to Alan who always kept his lessons fun and interesting. When Alan felt that he was getting restless with the classics, he used to switch to jazz and modern pieces if not video games anthems!! My son was never bored and enjoyed the variety of the pieces he was learning! It all came to an end just because he started college in September outside of NJ. Otherwise, we would have never left Shobo. I highly recommend this music school as there are many other teachers just like Alan!
