Welcome to Mark Murphy’s Music
Mark Murphy’s Music (MMM) is about to celebrate our 21st anniversary. We are proud to be SOMA’s music school.
We take deep pride in providing South Orange, Maplewood, Millburn, West Orange, Orange, Livingston, Summit, Montclair and other surrounding NJ communities with the highest quality musical education and instruction available!
Our talented university-educated faculty provides lessons for guitar, voice, piano, drums, audio engineering, bass, ukulele, loog, sax, clarinet and flute, for all levels!
What We Do
At MMM, we believe studying music can be so much more than just a weekly lesson. It is about becoming part of a musical community. A community with a faculty and creative environment that supports a student as their abilities evolve and their interests grow.
Quite simply, our teachers help students develop a deep love of music & connection to their instrument through our MMM teaching methodology. Our approach focuses equally on technique and creativity. Students learn to master fundamental techniques through lesson paths tailored to a student's specific personality and interest in music. This combination is designed to foster a life-long love of music.
Beyond the private lesson experience, MMM offers student musicians a chance to be part of our established musical community. Our creative and collaborative opportunities include our Pop & Rock Band programs, Singer/Songwriter (Solo Artist) and MMM Recording Studio. We believe that exposure to performative, challenging and innovative opportunities help everyone discover their own musical path.
We invite you visit our Google Reviews and Instagram community to see our vibe and what it's like to be a part of our musical family.
The MMM Faculty
MMM faculty are acclaimed performing artists and graduates of the top music schools in the world. Our teachers craft lesson plans that are specifically built around each student's musical interests and personality.
We help our students build a connection and understanding for the music they love, while always encouraging them to grow their current interests and stretch their musical comfort zone. For every MMM student, we strive to develop what we consider to be the individual building blocks of music: Reading, Theory, Technique, Repertoire and Creativity.
We believe our approach helps to provide a deep love and technical foundation in music, while celebrating and encouraging a student’s individuality.
Lessons and Programs
When you join MMM you are joining a dynamic musical community and family. For so many students the one-on-one lesson is just the jumping off point. MMM Programs are at the heart of the school and the reason so many students chose to study with us.
Within the private lesson teachers work to musically nurture and develop our students while helping them expand their own internal love of music. When students combine the lesson experience with our exclusive MMM programs it can lead to so many incredible places. Like joining an MMM band, or playing on a NYC stage as a “Solo Artist” or tracking in our recording studio as an audio engineering student. The creative possibilities are endless!
Our Space and Our Vibe
We believe that creativity begins with a great atmosphere and good vibes! The school has a very distinct style that lives somewhere between a warm country recording studio and an industrial city loft. The space is 2,500 square feet complete with a state-of-the-art recording studio, performance space and 10 lesson studios. Our collection of new & vintage recording gear, amplifiers, musical instruments and equipment is unmatched.
We always want our families to feel welcome and our teachers and student musicians to feel fully inspired.
