Remember to turn into road off of Barrington road and turn into commons parking lot to gain access to store. Visit for all your music needs or to learn to play a new instrument! Truly, Liza Johnson

Been coming here since about 2017 and it's such a cute shop. There's an array of instruments, a…read morevariety of music teachers, and lots of entertaining events. Before COVID, they would host free open mics for students to show off their favorite songs, with complementary snacks and drinks. While that has stopped, they continue their Rockstar program, where kids can sign up and play in a rock band with their peers. I've attended and played in these concerts, and they're so much fun! They even have a new adult Rockstar band! The students are nice, the staff are knowledgeable, and the manager Jeff is very thorough with explanations. Only way they could improve is with more seating in the waiting area, but I believe Jeff has tried to remedy this with a futon sort of thing in the middle.

Amazing. I already loved it but it now plays like the best guitar I've ever had (including Custom Shop stuff that I had before). I can't put the thing down. The amazing setup makes me want to play more and more. I've already dropped off another guitar and once that comes back I'll bring the next one

Nick was great to work with to get everything set up, and the movers were timely and thorough.

I also received piano tuner recommendations from Nick. When I need to move my piano again, hopefully not anytime soon, I will definitely use Alden's Piano!

Being a professional interpreter, voice is extremely important for me and finding my full voice potential is one of the professional challenges. Discovering my voice with Alvaro is turning out into an amazing professional revelation. He is very patient, very tactful pointing out mistakes and inaccuracies, at the same time he knows exactly in what direction he's leading me even though I may not understand it myself at the time. His professional manner, way of presenting things are very impressive. I very highly recommend Alvaro voice and vocal lessons.

I take great pride in making every student in my studio a priority. Every session in the studio is geared toward establishing and maintaining a healthy, reliable, solid technique. The first half of the lesson is devoted to a variety of breath support and vocalization exercises. The second half is devoted to repertoire preparation and study. The main focus of the studio is to help all students discover their true vocal potential and fix any major vocal problems, should they exist.

Tamar is very patient, knowledgeable and she so skillfully meets each student at their individual level. Lessons are engaging and seem to be well-organized, and communication is always clear and professional.

Thank you Tamar for being so kind and patient with my kiddos! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Tamar is an excellent tutor - and what makes her so excellent, and unique, is that not only does…read moreshe know Hebrew (as a native speaker), but she also knows how to teach Hebrew. My two girls (ages 11 and 9) have worked with Tamar over the past year. We began working with her to supplement the Hebrew education our girls were receiving in Hebrew School. My oldest daughter expressed interest in learning more Hebrew, so we looked for, and found, a wonderful Hebrew tutor. Tamar works with both of our daughters at the same time (during the same hour) but manages to successfully individualize their Hebrew instruction. Over the course of the year, Tamar has learned what motivates them and how to motivate them! She is very patient with both girls and is so supportive of their progress. They both look forward to working with her because she is just so genuinely encouraging. Tamar cares about their Hebrew instruction, and it shows. She has brought over games, songs, and supplements that continue to engage my girls. Both girls have improved their Hebrew tremendously. My oldest is a fluent reader and while preparing for her Bat Mitzvah, is also simultaneously learning Hebrew as a language. My youngest has learned all of her letters and is an emerging reader (with consistent, steady progress). Tamar is warm, gracious, patient, dedicated, caring and works engaging her students. I can not recommend her more highly. She is a gem in the world of educators and we are so fortunate to be working with her.
