Piano Lessons for Cambridge Adults, on the Red Line

Looking for piano lessons in Cambridge? Our studio is not in Cambridge. It is at 33 West Street in Downtown Crossing, and Kendall/MIT is 3 Red Line stops from Downtown Crossing, with no transfer. For an adult with a job, a studio on your train line often beats one that is nearer on the map and harder to reach at 6:30 PM.

From Cambridge to Your Piano Lesson

• Kendall/MIT: 3 stops to Downtown Crossing, about 8 minutes, no transfer.
• Central: 4 stops, about 12 minutes.
• Harvard: 5 stops, about 15 minutes.
• Porter: 6 stops, about 17 minutes.

Take the T. Parking around Downtown Crossing is expensive, and the Red Line stops a block from the studio. Plenty of members come straight from work at Kendall and are home before dinner.

What Piano Lessons Look Like Here

Private piano lessons are one hour with an instructor whose primary instrument is piano, on the material you choose: reading, lead sheets, old repertoire you want back, or the first five notes.

Group piano classes are 3 to 6 adults in a silent keyboard lab, on headphones, so everyone plays for the whole hour. Intro to Piano is the starting point, followed by Piano Hits, Piano Lab and Jazz Piano.

Members get open practice time on the studio's Yamaha pianos, including a GC1 Silent baby grand. If your apartment has no room for a piano, or thin walls, that is the part that makes lessons worth taking.

Why Travel From Cambridge

Cambridge has plenty of excellent solo teachers, most of them teaching one weekly lesson from a living room. What it is short of is a place built only for adults, with a room of other people learning the same thing and instruments you can practice on after work. That is what the trip across the river buys.

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. After that, memberships run $170 to $480 a month. See how much piano lessons cost in Boston.
