We Thoroughly Screen All Teachers
Before beginning training, our teachers are required to pass a thorough criminal background check that includes county, state and national databases and registries as well as screening done by the NJ State and Pennsylvania State Police
Philosophy
Our teaching philosophy is based on three principles: the first being that one size does not fit all - children have unique personalities and learning styles that will match a diversity of approaches; the second, that students are much more engaged and eager to practice when they are interested in the music they are learning; and most importantly, that children learn most effectively when having fun.
History
The Paul Michael School of Music officially opened in 2014, however Paul’s teacher career and philosophy took root in 2006.
