Music Lessons for South Boston Adults, on the Red Line

Musicians Playground is not in South Boston. It is at 33 West Street in Downtown Crossing, and Broadway is 2 Red Line stops from Downtown Crossing. If you live in South Boston 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 South Boston

• Broadway: 2 stops to Downtown Crossing, no transfer.
• Andrew: 3 stops, no transfer.

Take the Red Line, or walk if you are near Broadway and the weather is good. Do not move your car.

Why South Boston Adults Come Downtown for Lessons

From Broadway, we are two stops away. For most of South Boston that makes the studio closer in minutes than anything you would drive to, and you do not give up a parking spot to get here.

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.
