“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.“
“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!“
“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!“
“Justin is an exceptional teacher that has a wealth of drumming and music knowledge. His studies as well as experience is applicable to every lesson - I learned something new each time we met. I went from being an absolute beginner to playing drums on a full set in less than two years! His enthusiasm and ability to articulate drum theory that was relevant to where I was helped guide me along my journey. I’m grateful to have access to his skills - highly recommended!“
“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.“
“I have been taking my 7 year old granddaughter to piano and voice lessons for the past two years with Linda. Every week my granddaughter looks forward to her lessons. It is definitely one of the highlights of her week and mine too -- just seeing her so excited to go to the lesson and then work with Linda is truly wonderful. Linda makes it fun while learning (my granddaughter loves all the stickers she has collected for all her accomplishments throughout each lesson)My granddaughter has learned so much which was shown when Linda recently hosted a recital for the family - everyone had a great time and at the conclusion of the recital Linda presented my granddaughter with a super cool trophy that she cherishes. One thing that I noticed, is that me bringing my granddaughter rather than her parents is that she does not hold back (sometimes she will be shy when performing knowing her parents were there) I really appreciate Linda's punctuality - she always starts on time and ends on time - she is very respectful of each student’s lesson time. She teaches with no interruptions, dedicating the entire time to her students. Thank you Linda!“
“I had my P bass redone. It was sent out to the luthier he recommended and redone top to bottom, and now plays like brand new. I found where I can take my bass now having had mediocre jobs done in the past.“
“Geoff is a very flexible and personable music teacher who adapts his style to the student. He is a dedicated music educator who loves to teach. He is great at scaffolding his lessons and it's obvious that enjoys what he does. We go for electric guitar lessons, but he also teaches piano, bass guitar, ukulele, and mandolin.“
“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!“

“In my family we are professional musicians, and we always recommend Wayland School of Music. The teachers are first rate players, who also know how to nurture and inspire.“
