Introduction: Hilary Noble is woodwind player, Afro-Latin percussionist, composer and music educator living in the Boston area. He has performed all over the U.S, Europe, and in Puerto Rico. His music has been played on radio stations internationally and featured prominently on local programs such as WGBH’s “Eric in the Evening”, on which he has performed live with his band Enclave. In 2008 Enclave received a grant from Chamber Music America to compose an Afro-Cuban jazz suite: the resulting work was premiered live on WGBH and at the Jazz Gallery in New York City. Artists Hilary Noble has played and recorded with include Bobby Sanabria’s Ascención, Esperanza Spalding, John Santos, Charles Neville, Bo Diddley, Eric Krasno, Entrain, Max Creek, Bob Moses, Robin Kenyatta, Clifford Thornton, and Alvin Queen.He provides individual and small group lessons, arriving at your home with professional grade instruments. Hilary is also available to teach lessons from his home in Boston. Sharing my passion with students is one of my great joys, and I have taught in the Boston Public Schools for ten years. Through that work I have found great joy in watching my students, from preschool through high school blossom as they explore their roots and rhythms. Teaching individual students through private lessons allows for me to focus on the individual goals of my students. I have a Master's Degree in Music Education and have a wide breadth of knowledge in approaches to teaching and learning.

So glad we hired Hilary as a solo sax player for our wedding. He played soft jazz music for both our ceremony and cocktail our. Even though we hired him very last minute, he was very responsive to our requests and accommodated them professionally. Highly recommend him!

Hilary tutored our then 7 and 5 year old children both in group and private drumming sessions. Hillary is a talented percussionist but it was his ability to impart his knowledge to kids in a way that kept them interested and engaged that stood out for us. Music lessons are often something that must be endured for younger kids but my guys were always excited at the prospect of going to drumming lessons with Hilary! - Randal W

Learned so much from this very patient and enthusiastic teacher. Have recommended him to a friend for sax lessons and she is similarly thrilled. Professional, prompt and a outstanding teacher!
