6. Two music recitals a year!

Twice a year we feature our students in a live recital giving them the chance to perform what they have so diligently been working on. Parents just want to know how their child is doing and if they are really progressing. The best way for a parent to understand if their investment in lessons is really worth it, is to have their child participate in a recital. Everyone is encouraged, but not required, to perform. Adult students are also welcome and encouraged to perform.

We also host a Rock School Band Showcase 3 times a year, which gives your child the opportunity to play with a live rock band in local professional venue! We have the North Shore’s most established and recognized rock band program for kids and teens. This high profile program has been featured on Channel 7 News. Your child will love the opportunity to rock out on the big stage with a real rock band. You are encouraged to bring your family and friends to the show for free to share in the fun!

8. A proven track record of excellence since 1995.

Visit our testimonial page to see what our students and parents are saying. Every year, aspiring music teachers start their own studio, and a year or two later it’s closed.

My granddaughter and I love it!
Her voice teacher, Mr.Matthew, is the best voice teacher I know! He has taught her so much in a short period of time and we’re so happy to have him as her voice teacher. She is always so sad when it’s time to leave. Music Connection teaches guitar, piano and more! I hope you found this review helpful and WE totally recommend it.

Great place, feels rustic and the room is an adequate size for singing. I had Caroline, she’s a lovely instructor.

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!!)

My daughter went here before to practice piano with Caroline, and then she sadly quit because of some problems, and then she went here again with voice lessons in the upstairs pink fun room! She said it was nice, and she wants to see Caroline again! I’m so happy for my daughter and me 🙂

My son has been playing the drums at the Music Connection for a few years now and continues to enjoy lessons there because his instructor is so awesome! Peter Cohan is so great with young kids, he is always patient and kind. My son really looks up to him and we are confident that he as well as the other instructors, are great musicians and really know their stuff!

For about 15 years, I wanted to learn the bass guitar. As I approach retirement, I thought I’d give it a try. As an older student, I was very nervous. My teacher is Randy Leventhal, and he is amazing! After only three months, I can play a handful of classic rock songs, and I have learned a ton about music theory. Not only is Randy extremely knowledgeable about music, but he knows how to teach. He knows how to push his students to the next level at a comfortable pace while providing constant, but not phony, encouragement. To top it off, Randy has an amazing sense of humor that helps make each lesson fun. If you have ever thought about playing the guitar, I hope you are lucky enough to get a teacher like Randy.
