Musical Instruments And Teachers near Watertown

“We discovered this family-owned place a few weeks ago that offers music classes for kids and toddlers, along with a clean playroom to use. My son really enjoys the toys and we appreciate that it is clean and not overcrowded. The family running the business is friendly and attentive. The price is reasonable.“

“Our family has had a truly wonderful experience at this music school. My son James has grown tremendously thanks to the dedication and hard work of his teacher, Mr. Liubomyr. He has provided thoughtful guidance and unwavering support in preparing my son for both orchestra and competitions. His attention to detail, high standards, and constant encoura gement have helped my son develop strong technical skills, confidence, and a deep love for music.

Ms. Tanya’s music theory class is excellent—well structured, engaging, and highly effective in building a solid musical foundation. The summer camp organized by Ms. Tanya and Mr. Liubomyr is also outstanding, offering an inspiring and well-organized environment for young musicians. Mr. Liubomyr is also a faculty member at the Cremona International Music Academy, and the opportunity for students to participate in the camp in Cremona is especially exciting.

I also highly recommend the adult chamber music program. It provides a rare and welcoming opportunity for adult musicians to play in ensembles and continue growing. I personally had a wonderful time playing in a trio alongside other passionate and talented adult musicians.

Overall, this school offers exceptional teaching, a supportive community, and meaningful opportunities for both students and adults. We feel very fortunate to be part of it.“

“My daughter has been taking piano lessons for two years w Nicole (owner) and she’s the best! My daughter is very shy and Nicole doesn’t excellent job getting her out of her shell! Highly recommend!“

“We received a call from the director of Newton Music Academy last Wednesday; she informed us that our daughter was accepted for voice lessons in the spring. The voice lessons are very popular, but the spots are very limited. Her teacher is a renowned singer and music professor. We are so excited that our daughter was given one of the spots.

Previously, our daughter had studied violin for 2 years at NMA, and enjoyed the welcoming and supportive atmosphere there. The director is extremely passionate about encouraging music in children, and we have been in close contact with her whenever we have questions or concerns. She always tries her best to solve problems, so we trust her and the teachers at NMA.“

“Steve on the drums is completely rad! My daughter is loving her lessons. Thanks so much Needham Music ?“

“My granddaughter has been taking piano lessons for a little over a year now with Stefan. She says Stefan is patient, kind and funny. He teaches her in a way she understands! The progress she has made is quiteimpressive. I love listening to her play. Stefan comes highly recommended!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I love Flutistry! I bought my first professional flute and my piccolo from them. I can’t thank Megan and Adam enough for their help and everything that they do. Couldn’t find my dream flute without their help and guidance! Thank you Flutistry!“

“This place is amazing! The knowledge and patience they have here is incredible! My son learns something every single class and comes out so excited to tell me all about it!! I would give 10 starts if I could! Highly recommend!“

“I truly can’t say enough en pointe wonderful things about the Boston Ballet Adult Foundations class. While I’m sure all of the instructors are exceptional, my experience with Julia—both from a pedagogical and inclusivity standpoint—has been nothing short of top-notch. She is clearly a beautifully trained dancer, but what truly sets her apart is the way she meets each student exactly where they are and helps them grow from there.

Learning something new as an adult can feel intimidating, but Julia has a rare ability to make everyone feel seen, valued, and included—no small feat. She breaks down steps with clarity and patience, creating a class environment that feels supportive rather than overwhelming. You never feel like you’re just going through the motions; instead, you feel encouraged to plié into the learning process with confidence.

Most importantly, Julia genuinely cares—not just about correct technique, but about her students, their progress, and cultivating a real love for the art of ballet. Her passion is contagious, and it turns each class into something you look forward to all week.

I’m incredibly grateful for her teaching and so glad I took the leap and signed up. If you’re reading this because you’re on the fence, take it as your cue to jeté—I highly recommend giving it a try. ?“

“The conservatory has a staff of high quality music teachers. My son has made much progress due to the instruction he has received there.“

“Pianoberries is superb -- an ideal mix of high-quality instruction and making piano fun for our little one. The fall Pianoberries recital was well-organized and a joy to listen to.“

“My kid is enjoying his keyboard classes immensely. The instructors are great across the board, and Mark and the front office staff are easy to work with. Highly recommend this for a kid who doesn’t want to go the traditional music lesson route and wants to have fun learning to read music and gaining skills with an instrument.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best place for Music, Art, and Programming in the area. The teachers are very cool and it's a lot of fun.“

“Stellarts is a fantastic music school with some of the best prices in the Boston area. The space is well-organized and clean. The instructors are knowledgeable and supportive. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, they offer a range of lessons at affordable rates without compromising quality. Definitely worth checking out for anyone looking to learn music!“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“
