<p>Hi everybody, does anyone know of any piano/guitar/drum lessons or camps in north NJ? preferably Essex county, but if you don’t know of any there that’s ok. Thanks for your help!</p>
<p>anybody?? Please??</p>

<p>Meshaboo, That is a broad range you are looking for but are you looking for Jazz or Classical? In NJ, William Patterson and Rowan Universities have one week Jazz camps that are very good. For other types of music camps/lessons I would search the net as not seen a lot advertised in your area.</p>
<p>What about Stokes Forest? It’s in northwestern NJ, and offers programs of varying lengths, as far as I can remember. Don’t know which instruments they cover, but generally the symphonic range, I think.</p>
<p>Not North Jersey (It’s south of Phila., I think), but Appel Farm is consistently rated one of the top camps in NJ. I had 2 kids who went for years and loved it. Lots of performing opportunities, very high level of instruction–My younger son placed into Sophomore Composition class in HS as a Freshman due entirely to Appel Farm. He was inspired at about age 12 by counselors from Berklee to want to go there, which motivated him to work very hard to prepare. (We’ll find out in 2 weeks if he got in!)</p>
