Popsical School of Performance aims to connect Morris County teaching artists and students, and create live and recording opportunities for people to experience music’s social, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health benefits. We also aspire to create a support structure for both teaching artists and students to live out their full potential in music and beyond!

Unlike most music schools, all the musicians at PSOP are tested in their knowledge and experience with music theory and ear training, from pop to classical (hence the name “PopSical”!). Students begin to discover that the notes, chord progressions and dynamic effects used by many artists are very similar; from Mozart to the Beatles, from Gershwin to Carol King, from Gloria Estefan to Taylor Swift… then the question is no longer what kinds of music the student can play, but which kind of music the student wants to play with…

After learning and practicing their custom-picked songs, students have the opportunity to perform with other students and our entire teaching team at public community events and our private recitals. For the more advanced students, we also offer audition preparation and professional recording opportunities at our “Planet Purple” recording studio!
