"
I have been a member of Musicians Playground for over 5 and half years! I joined as a beginner pianist and now I can play more complicated pieces than I had ever imagined. Alyssa, the founder, has cultivated an amazing community. Learning an instrument isn't always easy, but you can always count on her being your biggest cheerleader.

I work full time and take the evening piano classes with the CEO, Alyssa. She has 20 years of teaching experience and is a trained classical pianist. Alyssa uses cool piano lab technology to facilitate group learning which means that we can practice individually while being in a group setting. Group lessons are truly collaborative AND personalized!

I have been a member of MP since 2015 and have loved my experience. It is so unique to belong to a space that is so focused on adult learners and fosters an environment of adult hobbyists. I feel so lucky that a place like MP exists. I've been able to book practice time on the weekends on the baby grand piano as well!

MP is essentially a music academy. They offer one on one lessons, group lessons, open mic night, keyboard, vocal and guitar lessons. The accountability has been one of the biggest differences in my growth. The studio is usually buzzing with activity and offers such a great setting to learn. Highly recommend MP!
Darrin
I've had such a great experience at Musician's Playground over the past few months - I've learned so much with Triin in my private piano lessons as well as the group lessons. I've also met some really amazing musicians here! The classes offered are diverse and easy to sign up for. There truly is something for everybody here!
Brittany
The experience and talented teachers are amazing. I personally started learning guitar and piano in my 50s and MP has made me feel comfortable with my musical learning journey. Old dogs can learn new tricks! I appreciate all they have done for me.

Piano Lesson FAQs
While having a piano or keyboard at home is helpful for practice, it's not required to start. We have pianos available at our studio for your lessons and practice sessions. Many students begin without an instrument and acquire one as they progress.
Most adult beginners can play simple songs within 2-3 months of consistent practice. Within 6-12 months, you'll be comfortable with more complex pieces. The timeline varies based on practice frequency and musical goals.
Absolutely not! Adults often progress faster than they expect because they bring focus, discipline, and a clear sense of what they want to play. Many of our students started in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond.
We teach a variety of styles including classical, pop, jazz, blues, and contemporary music. Our instructors work with you to focus on the styles and songs you're most interested in learning.
We offer both! Our group piano classes run with 3 to 6 adults on a silent piano system, so you get the energy of a class with the attention of a semi-private lesson. Private lessons provide one-on-one instruction personalized to your goals.
The $100 Intro Week is the best way to start: a one hour private lesson, 7 days of unlimited group classes, and open practice time. If you continue, your $100 applies toward a membership or lesson pack. Memberships run $160 to $480 per month depending on how many private lessons you want.
We are at 33 West Street in Downtown Crossing, Boston, steps from the Red and Orange Lines at Downtown Crossing station, the Green Line at Park Street, and the Blue Line at State. Members commute from Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, and every downtown neighborhood.
Yes. Musicians Playground is an adults-only studio. Every group class, event, and practice session is built for adult learners, so you will never feel out of place picking up piano later in life. Your classmates are professionals, retirees, and returners just like you.
