With four lesson rooms and an equal amount of instructors in their arsenal, Saucon Valley Music set out to become the Lehigh Valley's premier lesson facility. Within a period of two years word spread quickly about the quality musicianship and instruction, and SVM found themselves with eight instructors and rapidly outgrowing the current space.

We've been with Saucon Valley Music for over 10 years. Jerry (owner) & Jackie (piano & vocal instructor) have become like family to us. My daughter developed not only her piano playing skills, but also her confidence in herself & in performing for others, especially since performing with the SV Music Elite Performers group, performing three professional quality gigs at local venues this past spring. You CANNOT go wrong with lessons & products from Saucon Valley Music!

Saucon Valley Music is a great place for anyone who wants to learn to play an instrument. The instructors are excellent, and the entire process is so much better than it is at a larger corporate owned place. Once the student gains some confidence, the Elite Performers Program is fantastic for kids. Not only does it teach them to work with other performers, but it's great for their overall confidence.

Saucon Valley Music has provided my son with performance opportunities during which he has grown musically and has enhanced his skills in playing as part of a band. His experiences have been extremely positive and have spurred his interest in learning new instruments and seeking other outlets for musical expression. Thank you, Jerry!

I first met Jerry is 2004 when I first picked up a guitar as he had just opened SVM. I soon started taking lessons and rapidly advanced my skills faster than I could have imagined. Though I have since stopped taking lessons Jerry and I have remained friends since. a true testament to his character. Not only a great teacher and mentor, but someone who shares passion for music and guitar and is thrilled to share his knowledge.
As well as an excellent group of teachers that offer everything from percussion to vocals. SVM is a great choice start a life of music or to expand upon your current skill set.

My daughter has taken voice lessons for five years at Saucon Valley Music. Her teacher Jackie is very helpful and supportive. My daughter really enjoys performing at the local venues. Jerry does such a great job working with the kids to put on such a great show. We highly recommend Saucon Valley Music for instrumental and vocal lessons.

My daughter has been going to Saucon Valley music for some time now and loves the teachers. She has taken piano and singing and is currently getting ready for a show in October. She really enjoys working with her singing coach and has really developed as a singer since being at SVM. Cant say enough about SVM. It is a really great music center!

In my 20 years experience teaching in two major cities, Philadelphia and Manhattan I can truly say working at Saucon Valley Music has been a highlight and joy! The halls of this school are always filled with talented and dedicated teachers and students encompassing an array of musical genres from rock, jazz, broadway and classical. Top-notch- just like it's owner, a very talented musician and teacher- Jerry!

SVM ROCKS! Literally! my daughter has taken voice & piano lessons here for the last 4 years. It has been an absolutely wonderful experience & has allowed her to explore & immensely improve her talent. There is no other music school in the area that does what They do. Where else do you have the opportunity to perform at venues all over the valley & beyond. Their Elite performers group is phenomenal!

My daughter has been taking lessons with Grace for a few years and has had a wonderful experience. She is sweet and patient and very talented. I would highly recommend her. It is a fun and welcoming atmosphere and very convenient. Now both my other daughters have started taking lessons with other instructors at SVM and we have really enjoyed it.
