Music Lessons for Medford Adults, on the Orange or Green Line

Musicians Playground is not in Medford. It is at 33 West Street in Downtown Crossing, and Wellington is 7 Orange Line stops from Downtown Crossing, and the Green Line runs from Medford/Tufts to Park Street. If you live in Medford and want adult music lessons, the useful question is not which school is in your neighborhood. It is which one is on your line.

We are an adults-only studio: 200+ members, 200+ group classes a month, and 20 instructors who each teach their primary instrument.

Getting Here From Medford

• Wellington: 7 Orange Line stops to Downtown Crossing, no transfer.
• Medford/Tufts: Green Line to Park Street, no transfer, then a short walk to West Street.
• Ball Square: Green Line to Park Street, no transfer.

Take the T from Wellington or Medford/Tufts. Wellington has a large garage if you would rather drive to the station than ride a bus to it.

Why Medford Adults Come Downtown for Lessons

Medford now has two ways downtown without a transfer: the Orange Line from Wellington and the Green Line from Medford/Tufts. Both end within a few minutes' walk of 33 West Street. For anyone who works in Boston and lives in Medford, that makes an evening class easier to reach than most things in the suburbs north of the city.

Group classes run like a fitness class: 3 to 6 adults, booked one class at a time, on the evenings that suit your week. Private lessons are one hour, with an instructor who performs in Boston on the instrument they teach. Open practice time means the instrument you cannot fit or cannot play loudly at home is already here.

Pick Your Instrument

• Guitar: adult guitar lessons, with studio guitars and amps so you can start before you own one.
• Piano: adult piano lessons, with group classes in a silent keyboard lab and practice time on Yamaha pianos.
• Voice: adult singing lessons, private and in small groups.
• Drums: adult drum lessons, on acoustic and electronic kits you do not have to house.

Bass, DJing, music production and songwriting are taught here too. See this week's group class schedule.

What It Costs

Start with the $100 Intro Week: a one hour private lesson, seven days of unlimited group classes and open practice time. It is a paid week, and the $100 applies toward a membership or a lesson pack if you continue. Memberships run $170 to $480 a month. The full breakdown is in how much music lessons cost in Boston.
