Every January and June, our students have the option of performing in our recitals. Students are not required to perform, but many choose to. We also offer other opportunities throughout the year for all students - from some of our youngest to our adult students, to perform. From local venues to destination performance recitals at world-class venues like the Guesthouse at Graceland, Carnegie Hall, and more, there are plenty of opportunities to use new music skills, as they develop.
Every parent just wants to know how their child is doing and if they are really progressing. The best way for a parent to understand if their investment in lessons is really worth it, is to have their child participate in a recital.

Students in our program earn progress-based certificates to acknowledge major achievements completing key levels of skill, in playing music, reading and creating.
We are also the only music school in Boston that has access to the Co-Founder's own copyrighted curriculum, which provides a solid foundation to Piano or Guitar, along with graduations, with certificates at different levels of competency. We are also the only music school in this area that gives their students the opportunity to earn special levels of achievement through the patented Musical Ladder System TM - including color wristband bracelets (kids and teens love them!), medals, and trophies passing musical tests and levels. Do other schools offer trophies and certificates? A few. But none of them inspire their students with smiling faces by giving them great options for earning their way up as they grow musically.
Boston School of Music & Creative Arts does not require semester or yearly minimums for lessons. Students study here are on a month-to-month basis. Billing occurs monthly. Most students are with us for years, start as absolute beginners, and go on to college, some become doctors, or attorneys. Many others graduate from music colleges like Berklee, Julliard, USC, Eastman and more. Our Adults often begin approaching this as a hobby, which then find their skill and passion developing into a rewarding journey performing music.
If you are ready to start, you have nothing to lose as we only want students who truly want to be here and we will not commit you to a long term contract.
