The Real School of Music is a fun, creative, welcoming facility. It is a community of people learning, sharing, playing and talking about music. But first and foremost, Real School is a cutting-edge teaching institution dedicated to helping students achieve their musical potential.


Our Method

Redefining music education
In 2009, Real School successfully launched Phase 1 of our innovative methodologies for guitar. Phase 1 for other instruments will launch shortly.

Real School is the first school in the nation to use this unique, scientifically-designed instructional method based on decades of federally-funded research at the United States Department of Education, the National Center of Student Progress Monitoring, the University of Minnesota, and the University of Oregon.

This innovative method enables Real School to actively track and report a student’s progress through the various building blocks of musical language.

What does this mean for you?
No more guesswork. You’ll know where you are in relation to your goals, and what you need to do to achieve them. The Real School teaching method gives you answers to important questions like:

  • How am I progressing, as compared to my peers?

  • What are my particular strengths and weaknesses?

  • How do my lessons address these strengths and weaknesses?

  • What do I need to do to graduate to the next level?

Here’s how it works...

New students are assigned a proficiency level based on their musical knowledge and development. Students graduate to new proficiency levels as they achieve established educational milestones.

As students’ skills and knowledge grow, they receive new opportunities, such as working as part of a band, learning how to record and produce music, performing live and even teach other students.


Our Faculty

Education, Experience and Passion
Students are guided through every lesson and every step of their Real School education by our unparalleled faculty. These experienced, credentialed musical instrument instructors have been certified through Real School's teacher development program.

In addition to being certified instructors, most of our teachers are graduates of Boston’s renowned Berklee School of Music and other similar institutions. And many have experienced professional success and acclaim as touring musicians and recording artists.

The education, experience and passion of our faculty are passed on to every Real School student, in every program, during every lesson.

No other music school can combine the overall effectiveness and accountability of the Real School method with the passion and expertise of our best-in-class instructors and staff. That means that no other music school can offer you a more complete, more educational, more fun music experience than Real School.
