I have been learning electric guitar here for 2 years best session of my people here are so nice and helpful
My son (12) plays drums, and my daughter (14) plays guitar. We’ve been going to SoR Natick since late February and they are having a great time.
It is expensive, especially with two kids going at the same time, but if you count the 2.5 hours a week of rehearsal time + the .75 hours a week of instruction time it comes out to about $23/hour ($325 a month divided by ~14 hours/month). Granted they are not playing for the full 2.5 hours of rehearsal time, it’s still a good value if you consider music store lessons are $25-$35 for a *half* hour.
The performance program also encourages the kids to practice more often then when they were taking individual lessons. If you value working as a team as a valuable life skill, but your child is not a team sports kind of kid (or maybe you’re not a team sports kind of parent…) SoR is a great program for them to learn work as a team while building a skill they’ll have for life.
How much fun is this! A terrific path towards learning an instrument…. proving the School of Rock is for all ages (I’m 56)…… my son, 10, inspired me…
Total blast.

My son had the best time at Rock 101 camp and has been begging me to go back everyday. They did a wonderful job letting him be himself and helped him build confidence with his singing! He can’t wait to sign up for lessons in the fall. 🙂
Update Sept 2023: The Norwood School of Rock fell apart in Spring 2023 due to actions of the owners. Big staff and leadership turnover. They are currently trying to get back on their feet. I ended up leaving due to the culture shock.
Original review: I am learning drums and am part of the adult rock band group at School of Rock Norwood. Combining the lesson with the group is a great way to stay motivated. The group is chill and accepting of all of its members. The staff are zany, super smart, and talented. They get you playing, giving just enough theory and exercises to get you good enough to play, mixed with lots of playing real songs from day 1. Thanks for making my day, School of Rock Norwood!
School of Rock Burlington
Address: 6 Wayside Rd Suite 6S, Burlington, MA 01803 , Barwałd Górny , Massachusetts , United States
Our kids had a blast at School of Rock camp with Mark, Celine, and Hannah. I cannot recommend this method and team enough! our kids had no real music experience and came out of the camp excited to learn more and hone their new skills as music lovers. Thank you!
My son loves the format, can’t recommend this method enough, he’s very engaged and enthusiastic about going to lessons! The owner Mark and his employees are very nice and accommodating to my son and I. We highly recommend School of Rock Burlington!
Bach to Rock
Address: 200 Linden St A, Wellesley, MA 02482 , Barwałd Górny , Massachusetts , United States
My daughter loved this place from the first time. She wanted also do summer camp there. Teachers are very knowledgeable and caring. Front desk helpful and amazing. Totally recommend it
Great instructors!
My daughter loves rock music and it is fun to see her following her passion. Being in a band has given her an opportunity to learn about the importance of commitment; how to work as a group; and that each person’s contribution is valuable. She has gained more confidence in herself. She has recently started taking private lessons at Bach 2 Rock with her Rock Band teacher. The one on one time is helping her grow in her instrument.
Community Music Center of Boston
Address: 34 Warren Ave, Boston, MA 02116 , Barwałd Górny , Massachusetts , United States
This institution (CMCB) is more than valuable in the community. The staff is friendly, professional and welcoming. Everyone has the same treatment, respect and importance in the institution. Teachers give themselves to the students. I LOVE ❤️ THIS INSTITUTION!
CMCB (or the Music Center) is a gem of a Boston institution. Its warm, welcoming and inclusive atmosphere has nurtured our whole family over many years. My kids, both in high school now, started taking lessons at CMCB very early in elementary school after being introduced to the school through the Summer Arts program. They are now both wonderful musicians as a result. As a singer, I have performed there many times and my wife studied piano there as a adult student. The Music Center is easily accessible by car or by public transportation. Whether you’re one year old or ninety, if you’re interested in music lessons, I couldn’t recommend it more highly. Take a look at their school programs and their music therapy programs as well!
A hugely important institution in Boston. The generous musicians who work here do far more than lessons for kids. Read about all their work in public schools, their music therapy work, and other programs that help knit our city together. Also adult lessons!
What a great place. I want to support someone who gives their time to it. Trumpet or Sax lessons for a music lover but who can’t play a not! Reply here and I’ll connect to with my cell or email. Thanks, DG
The teachers give more than 100% like other reviewers suggested. Unfortunately, the administration is far from ideal. They do not pay teachers on time and said that “At least 89 % of BPS students are victims or perpetrators (or both) of violence.”
Powers Music School

We get to know this wonderful school by attending their storytelling concert at library. I’m impressed by the professional performance, so I register my kid for the Music pups class. Both of us love this class a lot. The teacher Jennifer is awesome. She’s very passionate and knows how to engage everyone in the class. Both of my kid and I enjoyed sing and dance with her in the class. It helped us build a good memory that will last a long time. And I also learned some music that I could sing to my child in the future. I highly recommend this class to anyone that have babies / toddlers.
We love the music pops (for infants and toddlers). The teacher is very nice and good at motivating parents and children to sing and dance together. We love the songs. Listening to the songs and singing them in the car with our daughter in the car everyday is such a great fun! We have attended two sessions. Highly recommend this class for parents with infants and/or children aged up to 4!
Great school: well run, offering a wide range of music classes, and with excellent teachers
I have taken all 4 of my children to Music Pups at Powers over the years. We love it! The older kids still sing the songs.
I bought a whole session piano class for my niece and then the course was not sufficient so her mom decided to drop but they did not allow for a refund. When she called them to postpone remaining classes for next season they said its okay but asked for extra money from her. Very disappointed. Money is gone without my niece taking any valuable classes!
They are not helpful they waste my money didn’t helped me for that i paid whole summer tuition but we couldn’t get more than 2 classes because of their misunderstanding and they did nothing for that !!!!!!!!
I Hate it so much
Boston School of Music Arts
Address: 2258-A Dorchester Ave, Boston, MA 02124 , Barwałd Górny , Massachusetts , United States
As an adult learner, the atmosphere is not intimidating. My family and I enjoy learning together.
Friendly and knowledgeable staffs.
I learned how to play piano and do vocals here! I have been going here for 5 years and I have never had a bad experience! The owners are very cautious about Covid-19,which is a good thing! The teachers here really teach you what your limits really are and help you achieve your goals! Would really recommend for anything from ages 6+!
Brookline Music School
Address: 25 Kennard Rd, Brookline, MA 02445 , Barwałd Górny , Massachusetts , United States
This music school is impressive and clearly focuses on quality music education. They have served the Newton area for many years.
I go there with Ken!
The school AMAZING and the teachers are very nice even when you had issues the people with problems with the school just had a bad experience. I think the school is an amazing place to learn great music.
Hi! I used ANMS for music class last year, 2 weeks of camp last year and for their kindergarten Xylophone School during this past school year. If I had an easy child, I am sure it would have been a good program, but my child is a bit challenging but is sweet, smart and well- behaved.. He did ok with the camp. I found out during xylophone class my child was being disruptive the first half of the year and not participating the 2nd half of the year. What really annoys me is that there was no communication with me the Mom. If a student is having trouble for an extended period of time, the parent should be contacted and a plan created.
I was told, well its only a 45 minute group class and the teacher is busy. Well, that is unacceptable without proper parent communication, expectations could not be set. My 6 year old now has no interest in instrumental music.
Also, during last year’s music class i was called to pick up my child because he could stop crying…Well, turns out he had a small cut near his eye and needed 3 stitches. He was injured by the sharp edge of the whiteboard. Instead of looking at his face, the teacher was annoyed that he was crying.
I ended up asking for a partial refund because it was clear that my son was not prepared for the end of the year performance and he is a lot happier now. They also have a draconian refund policy. I understand that this is a school but they are so money hungry that they are inflexible.
If you have that perfect child, this school may work well for you. If you have a more mature student this may be the school for you. But beware.

There was a touring group that came to Garfield high school back in 2009 and I felt so at home in the music vibe. Looking forward to seeing if I fit.
Its a famous music collage. Why are people reviewing it?
Good music school, being here just makes my heart sing.
Eu estudo piano
Good place to catch some jazz

저는 이 일을 기억할 것입니다.
My grandson three weeks before leaving was sent a notice that he had to pay $30,000 before he could come to the school. Had already paid his monies he was told he needed up front. He was crushed and so were we. Why would this not be made clear up front?!
