GOAL
It is the goal of all of the instructors at Northeast Music Studios to create passionate, devoted musicians who love to spend their time immersed in music. We do this through the belief that listening, above all else, is the most important thing any of us can do in this world. It is through listening that each of us can come to understand each other in a more comprehensive and caring way. We at the studio find that music will not only do this, but that it will also become something in which one can always find comfort and happiness. This is our goal.

ABOUT
Northeast Music Studios was formed in late July of 2015 by Noah Guerin, Gabriel Oldfield, and Reggie Kollman, who believed that by teaching the joy of making music, they could improve others lives. The three recruited several of their colleagues who they knew shared the same beliefs they did, and the studio was formed, offering in depth instruction in instrumentalism and musicianship. The three hope to continue teaching for many years to come.
