“Well. I do not even know how to begin this review, because I truly lack the proper words.

I have spent the past four months searching for my forever flute. I am a collegiate flutist at UMKC Conservatory who aims to play professionally in some manner for the rest of my life, and I desperately needed a professional-grade instrument to suit my needs and musical journey.

Throughout this search, I worked closely with Megan McCafferty at Flutistry. Our first interaction began with a phone call. It was at this point that I knew Megan was someone special and truly cared about my journey in finding my forever instrument. Our call proceeded wonderfully- Megan didn't just ask what instruments or brands I was interested in. She wanted to know more about me as a person and a player- what is my dream? What am I searching for in my sound and music? What are my favorite qualities I hear that I want to maintain in my sound? What do I want to change or add? We discussed so many personal aspects of my flute journey, and how we can best find a fit to accommodate that and open up my world of sound and musicality.

I probably received over 4-5 different trials of instruments and over a dozen flutes/headjoints throughout the past few months. All completely FREE. I was always completely transparent about what I liked or didn't like with Megan, and she handled everything flawlessly. We would also discuss what was working/what wasn't, and move from there. Megan's communication was impeccable, and her drive to truly make this an interpersonal and special journey was apparent in every email or call we shared.

All in all, we worked from the ground up to finally find my forever flute, which turned out to be a decently custom instrument. It actually wasn't an instrument that Flutistry currently had or sold- so you know what Megan did? She made it happen anyway. She personally found a way to secure my forever flute for me.

Megan's professionalism, communication, and quickness with service are unmatched. What is priceless, however, is her heart and the way she wears it on her sleeve. I am so blessed to be working with Megan and to have shared that experience together. I would recommend Megan to anyone and everyone. She is a beautiful soul and deserves to have the opportunity to continue to chase her dreams and grow in her career. Sending so much love to Megan and the Flutistry team from Kansas City, Missouri, and the UMKC Conservatory!

Megan- thank you for everything. It will not be forgotten. <3“

“Pianoberries is a true gem in Brookline Village. Both of my children have been taking piano and violin lessons there and have made wonderful progress over the years. The teachers are patient, encouraging, and deeply committed, creating a warm and inspiring environment for young musicians.“

“I just started taking piano lessons again.And chose this school because their staff and prices are phenomenal. The intake was very easy and the executive director Greg was extremely friendly and helpful with getting me paired with an instructor within a few days.

My first lesson two nights ago with instructor Esther Moreno changed my perspective on multiple things with the piano and already has excited me to play piano again every single day.

I am extremely happy that I decided to begin lessons here for $91 for 45 minutes, which is enough time for an intermediate to advanced student to acquire a great lesson and a lot of knowledge.

I believe that they offer lessons for many other instruments as well, and many of their adult students get involved within their orchestra.

I am very much looking forward to attending regularly and would recommend this school to any other musician looking to improve their technique.“

“Ben at Boston Bass Lessons has been an awesome teacher and a big reason I’ve been able to level up my bass playing. He’s helped me fill in a lot of gaps in my understanding — especially around theory — and has a really chill, approachable way of explaining things that just makes stuff click.

Every lesson feels super focused on what I need at the time, whether it's technique, timing, or getting more confident with improvisation. I always leave our sessions feeling motivated and like I’ve made progress.

If you're looking to get better at bass with someone who knows their stuff, I definitely recommend Ben at Boston Bass Lessons.“

“I enrolled my daughter in the indoor family class (0-4) when she had just turned 2 years-old until now at 3 years and 3 months old. We are currently taking a break just to try out some different activities for her (not enough hours in the weekend to do everything), but I couldn’t recommend CMCJP enough. It’s obvious that Christy, the program’s founder, has a background in early childhood music education, and that she carefully curates her curriculum to cultivate musical development (i.e. learning different rhythmic patterns, songs in minor vs. major keys), music appreciation, and, most of all, fun for the kids and families! As opposed to other less thoughtful children’s music classes, she doesn’t just play a guitar while the kids shake some instruments. She really thinks about what skills she can teach through her song choices, the instruments she chooses to have the kids play with, and the body motions she incorporates with almost all her songs (clapping, dancing, etc.). As a former dancer, I particularly appreciate the importance she places on movement with most of her songs, as well as tactile props, such as scarves, accordion ropes, and, always a kid-favorite, the PARACHUTE.

In short, if you want to expose your child to a high-quality early childhood activity, I highly recommend CMCJP. We will be signing back up in the future, hopefully for some outdoor classes in the summer!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“
