Musical Instruments And Teachers near Cambridge

“There is no question that one can learn an instrument, in this case the bass guitar, from Youtube or reading tabs and practicing them over and over. Sure, you can absolutely develop those skills over time and potentially be excellent at that one song you've always wanted to play! But...what's next? How much can you further explore? Can you fully understand why the songwriter chose to change that one part of the song that outshines the rest? Here, at Bass Lessons Unlimited, all questions and more are answered. Having a slight bit of prior music experience myself (being a band kid), if people ask me what is the best way to learn a new instrument, I will always say to look for a tutor. A tutor teaches you much more than just how to play the instrument. They show you technique, theory, and make the learning experience more personalized and fun! My tutor, Jed Lingat, is an exceptional teacher, bass guitar player, and overall, truly, an awesome person. His years of practice, wisdom of music theory, and kindheartedness have refined three excellent qualities that I hope to continue to learn from him: patience, creativity, and courage. Music is easy to learn, but difficult to master. One must have the patience to count from one to four several times in their head, intentionally slow down the hardest parts of songs, playing them even at 50% less of the actual speed, and to accept that the learning process takes time. Creativity and courage go hand in hand; one needs to develop the courage to explore their creative side in the world of music and refine their level of creativity to play courageously in front of family, friends, or live audiences! With these qualities and many more, Jed has taught me so much valuable knowledge in just over a year of tutoring. I know that I still have a lot to learn, as I am still in my adolescence as a bass guitar player, but choosing to pick up the bass guitar was one of the best decisions I've made for my life.“

“Mr. Liubomyr has been my daughter's favorite violin teacher for several years now. She actually looks forward to her lessons with him which says alot giving the fact that my daughter is 14 years old.Mr. Liubomyr has instilled in my daughter values such as responsibility, respect, work ethics to name a few, that only a doting teacher can and knows how.If your child is ready to work hard and take his/her/their music to a whole new level Mr. Liubomyr is your teacher. I highly recommend“

“My daughter has asked for voice lessons for as long as I can remember. Last spring, her school drama club was putting on a musical and she really wanted to try out but was too embarrassed and nervous. We drive by LB music regularly, so I gave in and she signed up for voice lessons there. Scheduling her lesson was fairly easy, and if something comes up on her lesson day there are options to cancel or have virtual or video lessons. She started working with Jenn just after school ended and we are very happy with her experience there so far. Jenn has such a positive attitude and is full of corrections, advice and encouragement for my daughter. And she has lots of patience. She is learning about proper breathing, vocal range, and so much more. After only a few months of working Jenn, my daughter's confidence has grown and in October she sang in her first recital at LB Music. To see the change from a girl who was too afraid to sing in front of her friends to being able to get up in front of a room full of people she didn't know has been amazing to see.“

“The M & O instruments are the MOST realistic of all major companies building Pipeless organs. Concert virtuoso Cameron Carpenter certainly understands the art of the organ virtuoso and his performances on his own 5 manual M & O instrument are stunning to say the least!“

“Tommy from Little Groove held a music class at our son’s birthday party and everyone had a great time! Tommy showed up with an acoustic guitar, drums, maracas a parachute and even more to play with the kids and parents. It was very engaging and fun! They were also very flexible with location when we had to change it due to rain.“

“I can’t say enough good things about Newton Music Academy!My son has been taking guitar lessons with Adrian for about 6 years and my daughter has been taking piano lessons with Synthia for 2 years (after doing musical ABCs). They both love their instructors and are growing so much musically! The instructors and the Director of the school, Svetlana, are so patient, keep parents well informed, and want their students to do well.Also, having an incredible school that offers multiple instrument lessons so I can do one drop off/pick up is amazing as a parent“

“Four years ago, I decided to take up the banjo at age 59. I have always loved music but I had never tried to play an instrument and knew nothing about how to read music. I walked into Needham Music one day and Barry, the owner, assured me they could help me get going. He sold me a solid banjo for a beginner and set me up for weekly lessons with Casey Abrams. Casey and I hit it off right away. He quickly got me started with the basics and recommended the perfect instruction book to use as the foundation for my first year. Every lesson was informative, motivating and (most important) fun! Whether we were working on something specific from a book or following a path I had independently chosen to take that week, Casey was encouraging, helpful and very patient with me. He harnessed my primal love of music and always kept me motivated. I took four full school years of weekly lessons with Casey and am still as excited about learning things on the banjo as I was when I started. Recently, I took up the guitar from scratch and remembered how raw I was at the banjo 4 years ago. It helped me really appreciate how much I have learned from Casey. I heartily recommend Needham Music to anyone young and old who is interested in learning a new instrument!“

“I can really trust Ken with my instrument. He is amazing! He also helps me put the strings on my instrument in the way that will give it the best resonance and sound!“

“Thank you for fostering the recitals, I believe watching other children do their best really encourages my own kids to try harder“

“Walked in today after a quick phone call. Brian was amazing! I am so excited to get home and try the lefreQues. Thank you Brian. ?“

“I highly recommend Yulia Berry as a flute teacher for all levels of players. She is a highly trained professional musician and a teacher with many years of experience. I have heard her students perform in recitals and was very impressed with the level of playing - both technically and musically. Yulia's teaching is comprehensive - in addition to private lessons, she includes theory classes, chamber music, group music classes and recitals in her program. Her students rehearse and perform on recitals with a wonderful professional accompanist - adding a very important element to a flutists musical education.Her students are regularly accepted by competitive audition to District and SEMSBA ensembles, perform with their school ensembles and enjoy playing the flute.Yulia is a warm and caring teaching who goes above and beyond with all of her students.As a professional musician myself, I have had the pleasure of knowing and collaborating with Yulia for the past several years. With her experience, integrity, and care for her students, any student of any age or level could not find a better teacher!“

“Fantastic school! I went there as a kid and am now going again as an adult for piano lessons. Friendly admin and high level teachers.“

“Our children have been taking lessons at Music 101 for 16 years (guitar, piano, & voice). Every minute has been a wonderful experience. The teachers are knowledgeable and patient. They have excellent teaching methods. Tanya, Steven and Michelle have always been so very helpful and understanding. They feel like family. Last night was our last of 15 recitals with Music 101 and it was bittersweet. We are so proud that both of our kids have learned so much there and have chosen to pursue music as a career (Music Ed and Music Therapy). Music 101 gave them a passion for music and it will live forever in their hearts.“

“We used Little Groove for my son’s 4th birthday party and it was amazing! They were so easy to work with and had great communication throughout the entire planning process. Tommy arrived early, and had 20 kids fully engaged and giggling the entire time. He brought a variety of toys (maracas, puppets, drums, parachute, etc) which the kids loved and also allowed them to participate in a variety of ways. I can’t say enough good things about little groove and I highly recommend them“

“We had the most wonderful experience! We took weekend classes with Anna and she was a joy. Our 2 year old looked forward to music class and loves it so much it’s now a game we play at bath time with toys “going to music class to see Miss Anna and her guitar”. The 8 weeks flew by. The rotation of songs introduced us to ones we don’t hear on our regular Pandora playlist. Our daughter loved the activities - rhythmic dancing with scarves, a parachute, large drums, egg shakers, and a multitude of handheld instruments. Anna keeps the atmosphere calm and engaging, with fun and energy dispersed for the kids, without it feeling chaotic. Very impressed with how she managed curveballs by children (like my daughter yelling out songs to sing that weren’t part of the planned set) and seamlessly weaving them into the activity without it taking over. Children feel heard and appreciated by Anna - she sets the bar very high for music classes to come! We had a sub teacher one week, and she was just as wonderful. Having 2 makeup classes is very generous and flexible for caregivers or parents. We love this class! ❤️“

“Our son has been taking piano lessons in Merry Melody Music Academy for more than 6 years and he has decided to continue the lesson next year. The progress he has made under his teacher's guidance is remarkable. MMMA offers a great piano program suitable for both fun and competitive learning. MMMA has a group of outstanding instructors and Vivian does a great job in finding a perfect match for each child. They also offer various performance opportunities, from charity events to showcases. The end-of-year recital is always an enjoyable family event for us, and even during the pandemic, they created online performances that we enjoyed from home.In addition to piano, MMMA offers other programs such as voice, drum, guitar, and rock band. The founders, Vivian and Chris, both accomplished musicians and experienced educators, have put tremendous effort into providing this unique music education experience. We highly recommend Merry Melody Music Academy to anyone interested in taking music lessons.“

“Cannot say enough great things about All That Music Academy. Run by extremely talented musicians that are also a joy to be around . Great pricing . Highly recommend !“

“I think it was the best music school I've ever been to, it's a bit expensive but it's totally worth it. All the teachers are really kind, and they all know how to teach really well. I recommend going to this place!“

“This school gives me a lot of fun. Rob and Stephanie are nice to me. Rob is also very professional in guitar and good at teaching new students for guitars.“

“Lauren is a superb teacher in addition to being a fine artist in her own right. I have great respect for her knowledge, methods, and motivations as an instructor. I would recommend her strongly and without reservation to anyone in the Boston area that is looking to expand their skills and horizons as a musician.“

“My son enjoys coming to piano lesson every week. Paul is the best piano teacher we ever had. He made the class interesting and he is so patient with my 8 year old son. Very happy with our choice ! Highly recommended!“

“Meredith & Company bring joy and confidence into the lives of those that they touch My son Anthony so much enjoys the Triangle Choral Group that gathers in Wakefield MA to learn and work together on music and song“

“As a guitar player it's great to have nearby, they have a descent variety of strings. And a shout to my fellow guitar players this is one of the very few or only places around that stock single guitar strings. They'll hand you the box and let you fish through it for what you need. Gotta keep a stash of those high E strings handy“

“We worked with Phil to buy a Viola. It is rare to have an opportunity to have access to an expert with such professionalism and compassion. Phil guided us through this journey to ownership and made us very happy! Great experience!“
