I inquired in January 2023 about lessons for my child. Here is a timeline of our semester:…read more- wait 2 weeks for slot to become available. - instructor sick, lesson cancelled. - my child sick, we pay for lesson. - first lesson on Zoom for a snow day that was rain, all public schools were open. - instructor reschedules lesson because she has a conflict. - instructor books 3 week trip abroad. Doesn't tell parent, but relies on child to relay the info. - I inquire about a substitute teacher, none is available. - I hire a substitute teacher on my own. We decide to go with this teacher. We receive a refund minus 40% of our tuition. I paid $600 for two lessons, neither of which happened at our appointed place or time. In the first 2 months of lessons, we missed one week, and the instructor missed four. I asked for a refund, which took a month and several emails & texts to receive .

I saw Soul City a few times around town, including at Ryles in Cambridge, and was impressed:…read morepowerful and varied vocals and a great groove. Still, other bands can sometimes serve that up, too. What I think especially set them apart was their amazing horn section. We ended up hiring them to perform at our wedding a few years ago, and Pat (who books them and also plays a mean bass in the band) was very easy to work with. The band was professional and courteous, and totally brought the house down. So glad we chose to work with them.

They played a great range of songs that kept the crowd of all ages entertained. There were still so many people on the dance floor at the end of the night and the energy and excitement from the band was contagious. We heard so many rave reviews the night of the event and have had people email us the last few days asking if we've asked them to come back next year! From an event planning point of view, I'm extremely grateful at how easy Soul City was to work with. Natalie returned emails the same day, was available to talk by phone if I had a problem, and did everything possible to make the event run super smoothly. I truly couldn't ask for a better experience. These musicians are the real deal. We recommend them without hesitation!

The school is in a spacious house and every room is sizable for practice or lessons. It is in a beautiful established neighborhood right next to Brattle. Teachers are so encouraging and nice. My child loves this place.

When Ryan wrote me back, I was shocked at how receptive he was to the prospect, vague as it was. But Ryan set me up with a tight session band, booked studio time efficiently so as not to go over my budget, and produced the record, hitting the nail on the head for the project's genre. Working with Ryan and Niki is never anything short of a blast. However psyched you are about whatever you're working on, they will match your enthusiasm and you'll see the difference in the results. I would highly recommend these guys to anyone on the fence about persuing a project like I was.

I was really excited to check out Allston, and this place caught my eye as I was walking around the neighborhood. I've been playing bass for about 4 months now. I was really excited to finally be able to walk into a music store and be able to actually try out the guitars and see which ones I liked. The staff were very helpful - right away they asked if I needed help finding anything. They pointed me in the direction of the bass guitars, specifically acoustic basses (which I was interested in hearing/playing). Their bass guitar section is awesome! They have a handful of acoustics that you can try out, which is really cool. If you're looking to purchase a bass guitar and want to make sure you're comfortable with it first - this is the place. They have a variety of pics that you can try, too. I've only played with two different pic styles before, so being able to try a handful made me realize what I really liked. They also have a great little corner for trying out electric guitars, complete with a little amp. I tried a lot of different electric basses, and found the ones I really liked. It was so much fun to try out the guitars and find out what I want to save up for. Besides guitars, they have a cute little percussion section and a bunch of melodicas!! The melodica is such a cool instrument, so I was happy to see it getting some love in this store. All-in-all, I walked away from the store with a handful of new pics and a smile on my face. This is such an authentic little shop, you can tell they really care a lot about music. I would love to go back!
