I called today to schedule my first appointment to start taking beginner adult guitar lessons. I was excited to start lessons and was available during the time slot that the guy who answered the phone said was available. But he then gave me a hard time and started quoting company policies about why he couldn't accommodate me. He did not seem at all interested in having me as a new student. Definitely not going to take lessons there.ii

My daughter has been coming to this studio for violin lessons for the past year. She formed a quick connection with Isabelle and has enjoyed her style of teaching. Isabelle interweaves what is important to learn along with finding music the student enjoys in order to enhance learning.

I take voice lessons here every Tuesday and Thursday. I absolutely love the environment here and the location is just superb. I've been taking lessons here for about 2 and a half years and believe that the phenomenal teachers here have blossomed into the great vocalist I am today. I HIGHLY recommend anyone that wants to get better at singing to come here.

I take violin here from the instructor Isabella Boggs. I can't recommend this place, and specifically Mrs. Boggs enough! Her teaching style was absolutely perfect for me, and I'm pretty happy with how I'm improving. Definitely a good place to go for music lessons.

My daughters have been taking lessons at the music school for years, and we have been very happy. They have done a variety of instruments, and all the instructors have been wonderful. Th school itself is lovely and peaceful, and situated perfectly to take walks by the river while waiting. I would absolutely recommend Westfield School of Music to anyone looking for high quality music instruction.
