“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“Staff is super helpful, lessons are incredibly effective and Jessica has been a blessing to consult on any issues.“

“Our piano class experience has been fantastic! The teacher is amazing, bringing such positive energy that my daughters eagerly look forward to their Thursday lessons. It's the third year for my 10-year-old with piano and violin lessons, and the 8-year-old, who is just learning piano. Sophia is always so encouraging, as well as giving great ideas and techniques of ways to improve. I am glad we found a teacher as patient, friendly and knowledgeable as Sophia.“

“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!“

“So glad I found Bass Lessons Unlimited. Prior to starting with them, I'd been doing canned self-guided online bass sites, which could be a bit aimless at times and sometimes left me feeling stuck as a beginner. But since starting private lessons with Bass Lessons Unlimited, I've noticed myself progressing much quicker, and with better technique.My instructor, Ben Wallace-Ailsworth, is a fantastic teacher: he's extremely encouraging, making even my mistakes feel like a valuable part of the learning process. He's great at pivoting and trying different approaches to a particular lesson if one isn't clicking with me. He has a deep knowledge of music and theory in general, which helps a lot to teach me not just what we're doing, but why we're doing it.Before starting lessons with Ben, I thought it would be years, if ever, before I would be able to learn songs by ear, but within just a couple lessons, Ben had taught me how to figure out simple bass lines, and a few weeks after that, I was able to work out this one bass line that had been a long-term goal of mine.Nothing but good things to say about Ben. And Bass Lessons Unlimited in general made the process of starting lessons very smooth.“

“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. ?“

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

“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.“

“Irina was my piano teacher for many years and I highly recommend her for children and adults alike. Her passion for music, piano, teaching, and people is immeasurable- she’s the best!“

“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.“

“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! ❤️“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“RSC faculty member Dan Loschen has inspired our child to love music theory. It continues to help with violin and voice. He really looks forward to class- whether in-person or virtual. And we also appreciate Mr. Loschen’s fun attitude and sense of humor!“

“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!“

“I take lessons with Sienna at Cambridge Piano Lessons, and I have had a phenomenal experience as an adult trying to get back into learning piano and taking lessons. Sienna is an absolute genius. She has a brilliant way of explaining music and how to play the notes on the page. She challenges me and provides feedback that helps me to learn more about the foundation of the music.She also provides explanations in music theory (without going too much in the weeds!) which allows me to understand the basis/foundations of the music that I am playing. I feel like I have definitely improved and am getting the attention that I need to advance my skills.“

“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.“
