At our Oakland, NJ music school, lessons are offered in 30-minute or 60-minute weekly sessions. All lessons are 1-on-1 appointments with a dedicated instructor at our Oakland location.

Every student is connected to our PracticePad™ platform, where you can track progress, review assignments, watch custom lesson videos, and manage your schedule. Most students attend once per week, while some Tier 3 students choose a more intensive four-month track for faster results.

Real Brave Oakland offers guitar lessons, piano lessons, drum lessons, bass lessons, and voice lessons for kids, teens, and adults.

Whether you want to strum chords, play classical piano, lay down grooves on drums, hold down the low end on bass, or step up to the mic as a singer, our teachers build a lesson plan around your goals and favorite music.

Our Oakland pricing is designed to be clear and flexible:

• Starter: from $57/month to try out lessons and get started.
• Tier 1: weekly private lessons at $189/month, with the option to pay quarterly and save $100.
• Tier 2: more intensive weekly coaching at $299/month, with a quarterly option that also saves $100.
• Tier 3: a 16-week, 60-minute lesson program at $1597 for four months, structured to create big progress and save around $800 compared to paying month-to-month.

All plans include access to PracticePad™ for progress tracking, lesson videos, and communication with your instructor.

We teach kids, teens, and adults at every skill level in Oakland, NJ.

Beginners learn core skills step by step, returning players rebuild confidence after time away from music, and advanced students get focused coaching on technique, theory, songwriting, or performance. Our teachers meet you where you are and build a plan around your pace and goals.

Real Brave Oakland offers in-person music lessons at our Oak Street studio and live online lessons through PracticePad™.

Families can start in-studio, switch to online for convenience, or blend both over time. Your teacher, your curriculum, and your progress tracking stay consistent either way.

Yes. Performance is built into the Real Brave experience. Oakland students can play in recitals, showcases, band programs, and concerts across the year.

These shows give students real stage experience, help them set goals, and turn “practice at home” into “confidence on stage” in front of family and friends.

The easiest way to start is to book a free trial lesson at our Oakland studio. You’ll meet a teacher, see how PracticePad™ works, and get a clear recommendation on which tier fits your goals and schedule.

From there, you can choose Starter, Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 and lock in a weekly time that works for your family.

We keep our policy flexible for busy families. Lessons can be cancelled up to 9 AM on the day of your appointment and rescheduled, based on availability, through PracticePad™.

Most music schools require strict 24-hour notice. Our goal is to respect your time, your child’s activities, and the realities of real life while still keeping teachers’ schedules organized.

If you need to stop lessons, we ask for 31 days notice. This gives us enough time to adjust billing, notify your instructor, and open your time slot for another student.

You can start this process by contacting our front desk or messaging us through PracticePad™, and we’ll walk you through the final steps.
