Our Piano Lessons

A Proven Approach That Meets Every Student Where They Are

Learning to play the piano should never feel like a chore. Whether your child is sitting down for the very first time or already has a few recitals under their belt, the experience should be creative, structured, and fun. That is exactly what our piano lessons in Wellesley are built to deliver.
We combine musical excellence with age-appropriate instruction to help students grow at every level. From in-person lessons to virtual piano lessons, our flexible formats give families the freedom to choose what works best, without compromising on quality or consistency.

Unlike traditional one-size-fits-all methods, our piano lessons are designed to fit the student—not the other way around. Our instructors assess each child’s learning style, pace, and goals from the very beginning.

Whether the student is highly goal-oriented or simply looking to explore a new hobby, we use:

A leveled curriculum grounded in music education best practices
Song-based instruction for younger beginners
Composition and improvisation for more advanced students
Repertoire selection that includes classical, jazz, pop, and beyond
Our goal is to nurture confident, capable musicians who enjoy sitting at the piano through our tailored lessons.

Jammin With You Is Not Your Typical Music School

Here is what sets our piano lessons apart:

  • Tuned In – Lessons are personalized to your child’s learning style and favorite music. Whether it is Mozart or Star Wars, our teachers use what excites students to help them thrive. With access to thousands of songs and teaching tools at our Wellesley Program & Performance Center, piano lessons stay fresh and engaging.
  • Unplugged – Kids learn on real instruments, with real teachers, playing real music. Our programs are powered by live, in-person interaction—not recordings—so children connect directly with the experience of music-making. This hands-on approach is backed by Josh & the Jamtones, our founder’s nationally recognized kindie band.
  • Ready to Jam – Our studio is a welcoming, high-energy space designed to build confidence, not pressure. Students perform at SuperJAMs—fun, concert-style events held twice a year—where they share their growth with family and friends in a format that feels exciting and celebratory.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Piano Lessons in Wellesley

Do you have piano recitals?

We have something way cooler than recitals….SuperJAMS!!!! Generally held twice a year (Winter and Spring), SuperJAMS allow students to show off in front of siblings, parents, grandparents, friends and the whole JWY community. We encourage students to perform together, in groups, duos, trios, bands, with siblings, parents, their teachers, etc. At a typical SuperJAM, you will see a wide variety of instruments, ages, abilities and performances.

Do you offer trial piano lessons?

At JWY, we pride ourselves in our ability to effectively match students with teachers. However, if you are not completely satisfied with your first piano lesson, we will give you the opportunity to try another teacher. We welcome as much feedback as possible, since knowing what you don’t like about a teacher is a very important step towards finding the right fit.

Do you perform background checks on teachers?

Yes! All new teachers are interviewed and screened. We run a background check (federal and sexual offender) on all employees/contractors prior to employment.

How do you select days/times and teachers?

All staff in our office are happy to assist with this. We are experts at helping match students with the appropriate teachers and the necessary schedules.

How frequent are home piano lessons?

Piano lessons take place on a weekly basis at a regularly scheduled time. We understand that schedules can be hectic, but a consistent time and structure are necessary for optimal learning.

How long are home piano lessons?

Depending on the age and level of the student, we offer lessons ranging from 30 to 90 minutes.

What if we miss a piano lesson?

If you have to miss a piano lesson for any reason, your teacher will offer you two reasonable make opportunities to reschedule the lesson. Read more about our home lesson policies.
