“A perfect balance of amazing music education with fun! The instructors know how to work with each individual student based on their unique abilities and personalities. My daughter has never once complained about her lesson or practicing because she is motivated by the song choice, performance opportunities and wonderful energy and enthusiasm of her instructors. Can't recommend Merry Melody more highly.” - Liz, Wellesley

Our daughter currently takes piano and guitar and is a member of the Rock Band. The lessons are invaluable to her development as a musician. The teachers are all kind, motivating and highly skilled. I would strongly recommend Merry Melody to any family looking for lessons for their children. ” - Kristin, Canton
“My two children started taking piano lessons from Merry Melody since they were in kindergarten. It has been a rewarding experience since the beginning. The music director met with my children before pairing them with a suitable teacher. Their teacher's enthusiasm has made each lesson fun and engaging.

“We have had a great experience with Merry Melody Music Academy for several years now. Their large staff of instructors offer a perfect fit for any student. We are very happy with our instructors who are always very positive and encouraging and very dependable. They also engage our student in music that appeals to their individuality. They offer several opportunities during the year to perform at concerts. Overall this has been a wonderful experience.” - Susan, Westwood
“My children have been taking lessons with Merry Melody for almost 5 years. We have been so lucky to have a teacher that has continued to both teach and inspire my children over the years. The opportunities for performances provide them with short-term goals to demonstrate what they have learned. My oldest has also had the opportunity to play in the "Merry Melody Rock Band" and learning to play with others has been a great learning experience in and of itself. Through their weekly lessons with Kana and Vivian's support they continue to grow!” - Tara, Westwood
“Our 10 yr old son is in his second year with Merry Melody Music Academy and we couldn't be happier with this program. Vivian is extremely professional and knowledgeable. She takes her business very seriously and it shows. Currently our piano teacher is Holly and she is terrific, prior to that we had Sohyun and she was excellent as well. When we had to switch due to a scheduling conflict we were a bit nervous, but it was seamless. We have had experiences with two other schools over the last 7 years and Merry Melody Music Academy has been the best all around in quality. We would highly recommend this music school to any family seeking piano lessons in the convenience of their own home. It is our pleasure to give Merry Melody Music Academy the highest of praise.” - Yasmin, Medfield

“We love Merry Melody Music Academy and found the teachers to be excellent in every way. Our two daughters and I are taking lessons and it's fascinating to see how we all progress under the guidance of Ioana and our prior teacher Holly. Thank you!” - Isabelle, Westwood
“Merry Melody is a top-notch musical instruction program. Run by the most brilliant pianist I have known, Vivian has assembled the most highly talented and qualified professionals to teach music and nurture further interest in music. We have had three teachers for our daughter's voice and piano instruction and all have been outstanding. Merry Melody's passion for the arts and teaching really shows in all they do.” - Joe, Norwood
“Our daughter started in kindergarten -- the first year that Vivian was in this area! She's now taking with a New England Conservatory teacher while in college -- and then back to Vivian in the summer. Our son also started with Vivian in kindergarten. All wonderful!” - June, Westwood
“Thank you, Merry Melody Music Academy, for providing our son with great enjoyment while receiving a strong musical education!” - Gela, Natick
“My daughter has been taking piano lessons with Vivian since Kindergarten and for 3 and half years now. Honestly, it has been an incredible 3 and half years. She has been growing leaps and bounds, and has won multiple prizes in different state level competitions. Most importantly, she has learned to love to play and perform piano, and love music in general. Vivian's classes are always interactive and engaging. She mixes the fun with challenge. Her piano program arranges through technics, music theories, classical music and pop songs, as well as some sight reading, composing and ear training along the way. She sets up clear expectations, and at the same time, she respects and trusts her students. She encourages my daughter to take the lead, such as picking her own songs, and practicing on her own at home. In response to her respect and trust, I see confidence, interest and self-motivation growing inside my daughter. I can't thank enough to Vivian and her school!” - Li, Westwood
