I've had an incredible experience at Musician's Playground since I started last February. What…read morereally made the difference for me were the instructors Miles, Rocco, and Thomas, who helped me build the confidence to play the guitar more freely and start improvising in ways I never could before. They don't just teach you what to play, but how to think about music: the theory I should know, how to actually practice effectively, and how to keep learning beyond the classroom. There's a real emphasis on listening, rhythm, and interacting with the people around you, which completely changes how you approach playing. For me, it's gone from "can I play over this song?" to "I have ideas about what I can improvise here," and musically, that's one of the most freeing shifts I've experienced in my life. Also big shout out to Dave and Brooke at the front. They are always there to welcome everyone in and make sure you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in, which really sets the tone for the whole place. The variety of classes and sessions they offer means there's always something new to explore, and the value of the group classes and membership is honestly unmatched. Completely worth it. Everything is accessible, the instructors are fantastic, and the environment is genuinely welcoming. It's been an immense creative escape, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to grow as a musician or just reconnect with music in a meaningful way. It's rare to find a place that makes you feel both challenged and completely at ease, but this is one of them. Boston, don't sleep on this hidden gem!

There are not a lot of recent reviews, so I thought I would add my experience in case it helps…read morepeople find what they need. I was excited to try piano lessons here but my experience was not client-centered. First, the person who connected with me about discussing what I need was going to call me on the phone but was inconsistent about scheduling. Then, although everybody was polite (if you discount my instructor asking me "no, but where are you *really* from"), the instructor I was matched with definitely did not start with where I was at and imposed their own perspective and agenda on me for how we would be learning because it's what they were familiar with. Also, during the lesson, the space was loud because people could be overheard singing. So, it was very difficult to hear the instructor and concentrate. Looking back, I think the person that I initially connected with to discuss what I was hoping for probably just wanted to make a sale instead of being straight up that perhaps what they had to offer did not match my needs.

The Ward Eights were truly spectacular and everything we could ask for in a wedding band…read more Professional, helpful in making sure we thought of everything for the big day, and most importantly - put on an amazing performance! So many guests came up to us afterwards and told us they were the best band they've seen at a wedding. They managed to get nearly everyone on the dance floor.

Some highlights: -- Bill & Chris were very easy to work with booking the band and handling all the logistics. -- They were super flexible the day of the wedding (we started late, had to move their setup, and had them plugged into an old gas-powered generator). -- They played an epically-long (nearly 2-hour) set without taking a break. -- They had the entire place dancing like crazy people. I've had so many friends & relatives tell me how "awesome your band was" after the fact -- I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for an incredible band for the wedding/event.

They did an amazing job with the white drape and lighting. People walked in the room and were blown away. The music was perfect. We had a mix of age groups at the wedding and Joe played music for everyone. We never had an empty dance floor. We were worried not many people would dance with the generation gaps but everyone was up there all night, even my parents and older relatives who seldom dance. When we were still in the planning stages, we had a meeting with the venue and Joe attended. He had so many cool ideas with what do do in our space and worked very well with the other vendors to coordinate. We look back at the pics it takes us back to our special day with his unique touches that turned our room into a surreal vision. We even hear great songs on the radio and remember them being played at the wedding. You will not be disappointed with this team. They are tasteful, classy, industry professionals that will make your event extra memorable.

The website is really good and made it easy to view videos of each DJ and pick the one we wanted to provide music for the wedding. Plus this company is a pretty well known organization around Boston and they know the ins and outs of many venues making it easy to book them since they know the places already. The DJ we chose was Joe Toto. They make it very simple and easy with first inviting you to one of their showrooms (which is their home office). The good thing about this was it made it comfortable to discuss options and you werent pressured into signing anything. Joe was professional and personable and explained each service to us and made it very easy to book the service. The prices were not bad and for the experience we received, it made it worth it. The day of the event Joe came with two other assistant DJ's and set up without a problem. He played all the requested music and took a few requests and followed our instructions to the last detail. To this day people still are talking about how fun our wedding was and how the music made the difference. I would highly recommend this company for any event.

We decided on a DJ instead of a band for a few practical reasons. It's cheaper, there's more…read morevariety in what he/she can play and therefore can appeal to a broader audience, and most importantly for us, a DJ takes up less space than a band. We thought about forgoing a professional altogether and just doing the iPod thing, but I was afraid that it would stress me out. For anyone else who has done the DJ search, there is LOT of cheese out there! I received a packet from this one guy with all kinds of crazy rainbow colors and smiley faces and frankly, his voice on the phone scared the crap out of me. We wanted a low-key DJ, not a show-boat. Tom was perfect. He was referred to me by a friend and we communicated briefly by phone & mostly by email. He seemed very professional and his website looked pretty detailed. When we finally met just before the wedding, I'll admit that I was afraid he might be a little too low-key. He is very calm and maybe a little mellow. Not what I had in mind for a DJ. But, we liked him all the same and all that really mattered was that he showed up and played good music. He totally delivered! He wore a nice suit and looked great. Call me shallow but that's important - his head in the background of quite a few of the photos. He was professional and knew what to play to make everyone happy. He also played all of the songs we asked him to, which is not always a given. The reception was non-stop dancing all night. We had a blast. Oh, one other thing. Tom is not cheap but he's not overpriced either. I talked to some people who wanted crazy amounts of money to DJ. Tom was totally reasonable. Another "highly recommend".

I was very involved with planning my own wedding but absolutely clueless when it came to ceremony and string music. Willine was beyond helpful answering all my questions about logistics and making music suggestions when I came up blank for pieces I would like played. She exceeded my expectations in what a vendor should provide and made sure I was 100% happy with everything before my big day. For the ceremony, she was able to string together traditional compositions such as Canon in D and Arioso by Bach with more of the modern elements I wanted to include by adding the Beatles and the Theme Song from the movie "Up" which we used for the Processional. Blissful Sounds kept the guests entertained during cocktail hour with upbeat but subtle songs that filled the room and delighted everyone. I can not count how many compliments we received about them. They were even able accommodate a last minute change in the program the morning of my wedding when the officiant decided the groomsmen should walk in to the ceremony with official music. I would not consider hiring anyone else after my experience.
