Premier chamber music camp in the northeast. Free concerts open to the public every Saturday of July and the first Saturday of August.
It’s a very nice place. Teenagers reject the social construct of footwear and play classical music in tiny wooden cabins. Occasionally we play games where people pretend to be dead or where we have to cut a grown man’s beard with impressively dull scissors at around 9:30 PM. The only punishment basically ever given is taking the trash out at night. It’s a great place unless you forget to wash your dishes immediately after you use them…
It’s truly a very Greenwood. We play music and also music and there’s music. Don’t go if you don’t like music because this camp is very music. If you play violin, viola, cello, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, or horn, then you should Greenwood because Greenwood is Greenwood. Don’t come expecting to see green wood, because you will not find any. However there is music and also real life among us on the last week. I met people at Greenwood. They are all very.

School of Rock
Address: 120 Elm St, Watertown, MA 02472 , Esperantinópolis , Massachusetts , United States
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.
I have been learning electric guitar here for 2 years best session of my people here are so nice and helpful
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 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!
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!
School of Rock

I love the concept of immersing the kids into a song and a practicing group/band from the get-go! Especially for kids who have attention issues or get bored easily! Learning by doing is so fantastic… it gets the kids engaged from the start and makes them excited to go each week. Thank you! 🙂
My daughter takes voice, drums, keys, and performance group at SOR. She has also done camps and a song writing workshop, and I can’t say enough about how amazing all of the teachers are. Having lessons combined with performance group is exactly what she needed to push herself musically, and it’s what sets this school apart from others because these are not just music lessons, it’s truly a music education. The environment is also extremely welcoming and it’s great to see so many different types of kids being themselves and working together in the safe space SOR has created for music lovers.
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!
Powers Music School
Address: 160 Lexington St, Belmont, MA 02478 , Esperantinópolis , Massachusetts , United States
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.
My 5 year old boy signed up the high five piano class this fall semester and he really loves the class. The teacher is very friendly and patient, and the class is a good intro of music and piano to kids. In addition, School offers study materials and no need to purchase textbook yourself. Great starting point for children’s music life!
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!
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 !!!!!!!!

Bach to Rock
Address: 200 Linden St A, Wellesley, MA 02482 , Esperantinópolis , Massachusetts , United States
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.
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
Kid friendly classes in all instruments with many time choices
The Music Connection Danvers
Address: 67 High St # 9, Danvers, MA 01923 , Esperantinópolis , Massachusetts , United States
Love music connections kids rock band class! My 4 year old is so excited to go each week and try her hand at the keyboard, electric guitar and drums. Troy and Darren are fantastic!
Excellent teachers, just do it
I took voice lessons here with Bethany as did my 13 year old son. It’s not easy to teach an adult and a teenager but, somehow she did it! It was a great experience. We both loved it here. My son would beg me to take him each week! Very highly recommend it here for any type of music instruction.
They were always punctual, polite and reasonably priced here. 🙂
We could not be happier with the music instruction our kids get at the Music Connection. Bethany is an amazingly talented voice instructor but she is also a fabulous teacher. To watch her work with kids…magic! Nat is a patient clarinet instructor to our young child that amazingly has taken to learning this instrument along with a bit of piano too. He inspired her so much that she brought him in for show and tell! (the 4/5 star is only because the space itself could use some fixing up but the Bethany and Nat deserve 5/5 stars and more!!)
Brookline Music School

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.

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?!
