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!

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.

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 youre one year old or ninety, if youre interested in music lessons, I couldnt recommend it more highly. Take a look at their school programs and their music therapy programs as well!
