Music Maker Studios is temporarily doing remote lessons due to a fire that severely damaged the building. Please contact Bob Brenner at 781-864-8443 for more information. Music Maker Studios has been providing private music lessons to all levels of students for over 30 years. We offer private music lessons for piano, guitar, drums, saxophone, clarinet, flute, trumpet, bass guitar, and voice.

We put on a recital in June to let our students showcase their talents and to give their parents and family members a chance to enjoy a live performance in front of an appreciative audience.

Private Music Lessons Report

Music Maker Studios offers private music lessons for piano, saxophone, guitar, clarinet, flute, trumpet, drums, bass guitar, and voice in all styles of music. Our patient instructors will start you off with simple exercises to get comfortable with your instrument and then get you playing songs as quickly as possible to inspire you to practice whenever you can.

Ensemble Classes Report

The ensemble program at Music Maker Studios started within weeks of opening in 1979. Many of Bob's private students had progressed to the point where they needed an outlet to play. Sadly, this situation didn't exist, at least not to his standards. With the help of some of the finest teachers around Boston, he was able to start 2 ensemble classes focusing on mainstream Jazz.

I've been playing in a jazz ensemble at Music Maker Studios for years. Bob and his staff couldn't be more welcoming and professional. Can't wait for the pandemic to end so we can get our weekly gathering.

Report

My kids have been taking trumpet and clarinet lessons at Music Maker Studios for the past several years. They do a great job and I recommend them highly. In particular, the teachers are talented, experienced, personable, and relate very well to the kids (and their parents). The recitals are well done and a lot of fun.
