Absolute Music Studios Marks 20th Anniversary Milestone

Absolute Music Studios in Hazlet Celebrates 20 Years on March 23rd

Absolute Music Studios will celebrate 20 years of teaching music to students of all ages with an anniversary event at their studio on Saturday, March 23, at 4pm.

Starting out as a small office in 1999, Absolute Music Studios over the past two decades has grown into a comprehensive studio featuring multiple classrooms, professional teachers, state of the art equipment, and the tools necessary to provide lessons of the highest standards. Students learn how to read music and play a variety of instruments, working with some of the best musician-teachers in the area.

“We pride ourselves in our vision to continue to grow in the community by incorporating multiple services such as a contemporary choir, jam sessions, camp programs, and recitals,” said owner John Albino. “With the addition of a state-of-the art recording studio, a full-service performance management company, an engineer and design company, and soundproof rooms, Absolute Music has truly grown into a blend of music services. I am looking forward to this 20th anniversary celebration with the community that has supported us for so many wonderful years,” he said.

John Albino started Absolute Music Studios with one goal in mind -- to create a warm and inviting musical atmosphere to inspire the learning of music. It also helped him to fulfill his desire to live a more community-oriented life that would allow him to raise his children instead of living on the road, which he did so for many years. Absolute Music is now firmly established as one of the best and busiest music lesson studios in the area.

John has worked with many musicians, including KISS, The Pretenders, Wings, Billy Joel, Foreigner, Pat Travers and Quiet Riot. He has also worked as a studio musician, playing on sessions with many top producers including Stephen Gelfas and Charlie Midnight.

Absolute Music Studios staffs some of the best musician-teachers in the area. It is unique in its ability to maintain personal client relationships, as well as giving back to the community with free programs, performances, assembly programs to schools, and the donation of proceeds from its annual musical recital to a local charity chosen each year. It is not unusual to see the name of Absolute Music on the back of shirts worn by teams in the local sports programs.

John’s continual dedication to the surrounding communities was the inspiration of Precision Tuned To Musically Inspire Children; a non-profit organization whose mission is to inspire growth and creativity through music, and to provide the finances and tools necessary to fulfill the desire of those who choose to learn and play.
