We hunted around the music stores north of Boston and found Timeline Music in Wakefield. The owner, Carl, walked us through the process of what she would need for the next few years school, let us try three different brands of violins, and showed us a practice room to try them out. We bought a Knilling full-size violin, and he threw in some accessories for free. I was very happy with Carl taking the time to explain everything to us.

He is also the archetypal mad genius in a basement. I mentioned the Church of Euthanasia as an aside once, and Sam had taught the leader guitar. Also, in the middle if a lesson one time, he said "oh by the way pay no attention to my basketball player." and a 6'8" dude in full court gear silently walked through the room and out the door. And there was no explanation. The lesson just continued.

We have taken guitar and piano lessons here for the last two years and could not be happier. The teachers are engaged and interested in teaching kids things that enhance their skills and keep them interested. The range of music you hear them teaching demonstrates their commitment to the student - not their own interests. I wish my parents sent me to this kind of place growing up instead of learning to read music for "Mary Had a Little Lamb". Bad enough for piano, imagine it for a kid that wanted to learn rock guitar. The space was recently spruced up and has a nice vibe. If you are interested in lessons for guitar, bass, uke, drums, piano and a few other instruments this place is definitely worth checking out.

As a huge lover of music I always felt that I should take it more seriously, so I got in touch with Bob Wolfman and began my weekly guitar lessons.  It's been about a year with Bob now, and I have progressed as a player so much. Bob has a long history of instructing all levels of students of all ages and has a unique approach to teaching students the guitar.  Not only is Bob a great instructor but he also takes a genuine interest in his students. In in the year that I have been taking guitar lessons I've learned some music theory, great blues licks and scales that have given me enough confidence to perform live with Bob and his band. I look forward to my lesson every week and would recommend Bob if you're looking to get serious about learning to play the guitar.

After six weeks or so of our kid complaining that he only actually played for ten minutes per session, we sadly quit; owner Mark Abruzzese then wrote us a nasty email where he managed to insult us and our kid. It all felt really scammy tbh.

She said the teachers are super nice and Mark, the owner who is also a music teacher, is awesome. Now she's in the performance program and is really enjoying that too! My daughter has enjoyed performing her entire life but since Covid it's been a real challenge getting her back into it. I am so grateful that School of Rock has changed that for her! If you are shopping for an innovative, fresh approach to learning music in a musically prolific environment that is "excitable and friendly" (my daughter's sentiments) you've gotta try this school. You will be so glad you did!
