I have taken guitar lessons for many years with several different teachers. Presently, I am studying Jazz guitar with Mr. Rob Backof. He is by far the best guitar instructor that I have ever had. Rob is extremely knowledgeable with regard to music theory, musical notation, chords, arpeggios, scales and modes. His expertise with regard to his instrument of choice is readily apparent and Rob is very well versed with regard to all types of guitar instruction and playing including Rock, Jazz, Jazz Fusion, and Classical guitar. He is a very patient and mature instructor. In addition, Rob is a very motivational teacher, always encouraging one to do their very best, yet never critical concerning a student's progress and always generous with praise. John Christiano, M.D.

My Kiddo has been taking lessons here for about 2 years now. Every Instructor is knowledgeable and well versed in music education. My kiddos current instructor helps them set goals - practice music for upcoming events and independently work on music. Keeping in mind the fundamentals to build a solid knowledge base of music theory. All the while keeping it fun / inspiring and interesting.The instructors are focused on the whole child and well versed in different personalities types. They listen to the kiddos/ wants / needs/ goals. The instructors are able to facilitate learning in a way that gets the very best out of the student (no matter the starting skill level or age). We could not have found a better music school. Truly we feel lucky that such a place exits. My kiddo looks forward to going to their lessons.

Maybe adults do great here but it’s not the best for kids.My son went here for about a year (6 turning 7 years old). While he did learn some things while there, it was evident, as a K-12 educator for 11 years, that the drum instructor did not have much experience with kids OR interest in really learning what the best practices are with young children.At one practice he was barefoot, which read as super unprofessional to me. It wasn’t until we went and had a demo lesson at another school that I realized how unprofessional it was as well as the lack of efficacy. I feel like if we had switched sooner, my son may be further along.The instructor seemed a little impatient at times as well.Overall, the experience was okay but there are better in the area.

I retired 2 years ago and decided to learn to play jazz guitar. After a lot of searching I chose Cranford Guitar & Music Center and I'm happy that I did. Their music director set me up with the right teacher for me and I'm doing great!

I decided to learn how to play the guitar at 52. I began taking lessons at Cranford Guitar and couldn't be happier. The staff there are great and my instructor Josh is awesome. Lessons are one on one and they go at your speed. They make learning fun. Highly recommended.

What a great warm place! This place feel less like a business and more like a comfortable home, with friendly people. The music director is very attentive and is a great teacher. They never made me feel pressured. I look forward to learning to play the guitar with my family.

My daughter (age 9) takes guitar lessons and really likes this studio. Her last place was rather boring with songs she had never heard of before. Here Jose works with her to find music she is excited to learn. Practice time has been much, much easier and the extra practice and attention is reflected when she plays.
