What Families Say
Music lessons are personal. Here’s what students and families have said about their experience at Amherst Red Barn Music School.
Ginny Hamilton
“Love this place! My now 17-year-old has taken lessons with Tom since first grade. He’s provided the right amount of support, encouragement, and challenge appropriate at each age and stage.”
“Love this place! My now 17-year-old has taken lessons with Tom since first grade.
He’s provided the right amount of support, encouragement, and challenge appropriate
at each age and stage.
The studio itself is easy to reach, with free parking and a waiting area for parents.
Plus its a short walk from shops and restaurants if you want to wander. My kid now
walks from the HS for his lessons after school.
The recitals 2x/year are adorable and enjoyable. The older kids encourage the younger
and everyone’s efforts are celebrated. Each year, I’m particularly impressed by the
adults brave enough to perform.
If you’re looking for a music teacher who is right for you/your child, I encourage you
to consider Red Barn. Their trial lesson policy is fair and useful.”

“Great teacher! Develops technique, and when you stick with it, it pays off — a lot, a lot, A LOT!”
“My child has taken guitar classes here since Fall 2021. When I asked him what he would write in a review he said: ‘Great teacher! Develops technique, which may not be fun when you’re first learning it, but when you stick with it it pays off – a lot a lot A LOT!’”

“Red Barn was friendly, welcoming, and accessible from the moment I arrived. It was a wonderful place to continue developing as a musician and performer.”
“I studied voice and piano at Red Barn Music School for about five years while attending Hampshire College as a Theater major. Red Barn was friendly, welcoming, and accessible from the moment I arrived. I had vocal training with Anne Kearns and studied piano with Tom Williams, who was a teacher I especially enjoyed working with. Having previously trained in New York and London, the Red Barn was recommended to me by my former vocal coach and piano teacher in New York. Red Barn proved to be a wonderful place to continue developing as a musician and performer. Thank you, Red Barn.”

“Kevin is a wonderful teacher — kind, encouraging, and incredibly patient. My son always looks forward to his next lesson.”
“Kevin is a wonderful teacher. My son is only four years old, and Kevin is always kind, encouraging, and incredibly patient with him. He knows how to make each lesson fun while helping my son feel comfortable and excited about learning music. My son loves Kevin and always looks forward to his next lesson. I wish there were more teachers like him!”
