“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!“

“A very nice place to buy string instruments! They allow trial of violin for 1 week at no cost. The gentleman that helped us named Phillip is very professional and patient. He reviewed the process with us thoroughly. Several studios on site to tune and repair the instruments. They also sell bows and cases.“

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“

“All the teachers at Robs Guitar School are top notch! Students have fun and learn quickly, playing the type of music and songs they choose! First lesson always free, it’s worth checking out!“

“Fabulous teachers and management that takes great care of their students. Fast response time and helpful to have teachers come to the house!“

“What a wonderful experience for my 9 year old. Sophia is absolutely fantastic! She introduces
music in a fun and relatable way. She is truly a master teacher and is very clever when getting kids over hurdles in the learning process. I’m thrilled we found the Wellesley School of Music!“

“I recently had the privilege of attending my niece Teagan's graduation from The Rivers School in Boston, and I can genuinely say I was moved to tears walking the campus. What I saw wasn’t just a school—it was a vision of what education should be. Every detail, from the facilities to the faculty energy, showed an unwavering commitment to student excellence.

With only around 90 students per grade and class sizes of just 4 or 5, each student receives an education that’s not just personal, but powerful. The resources blew me away—a full robotics lab, a dedicated physics department, and student-driven projects like real-world product launch campaigns. This isn’t about checking boxes. It’s about unlocking potential. The entire staff seemed devoted to one mission: pushing the greatness out of every student, shaping them into leaders, creators, and deep thinkers.

It was emotional for me. I couldn’t help but reflect on my own high school experience—an environment where minds went unchallenged, support was scarce, and accountability was non-existent. I wonder what I could’ve done with opportunities like these. How far could my curiosity and drive have taken me if I'd had the same tools and encouragement?

The Rivers School doesn’t just educate; it inspires, elevates, and empowers. Every child deserves what my niece had—a place that believes in their ability to be elite at whatever they choose to pursue. If every school were like this, the future would be unstoppable.

The Rivers School is a model. A blueprint. And witnessing its impact firsthand has forever changed how I see education.“

“Our daughter has taken violin lessons and and participated in recitals with Pianoberries since she was in first grade and I am very satisfied with her learning and confidence“

“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.“

“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. ?“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Brant is an amazing teacher. I also agree with all the other reviews about his impressive expertise and knowledge. Even without having enough time to practice, Brant found a way to motivate me and to make me improve my skills and theory knowledge. I definitely recommend his services.“

“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.“

“I learn piano here. It’s cool. They have recital 2 times a year. The building is clean. My teacher is nice. Many kids come here. Mostly very little kids. There is also guitar lessons and violin lessons I think. Oh and probably voice lessons as well because a lady who used to go to the church I volunteer at teaches voice lessons there“

“Great staff, terrific deals, and they do a first-rate job fixing and setting up instruments.“
