Beantown Music School’s Small Group Lessons are designed for students who enjoy learning in a collaborative, supportive setting. Our small groups currently focus on Songwriting and Intro to Guitar, offering an engaging way to build skills, creativity, and confidence alongside peers with the goal to join one of our bands and perform live on a local stage.

Small group lessons are kept intentionally small to ensure individual attention while benefiting from the energy and inspiration of learning with others. These groups are a great option for students seeking community, creativity, and structured guidance as they begin or expand their musical journey.

Beantown Music School offers personalized one-on-one private lessons for students who want focused, individualized instruction tailored to their goals, experience level, and musical interests. Lessons are available for voice, piano/keys, drums, guitar, and bass, and are open to students of all levels—from complete beginners to advanced musicians.

Each private lesson is thoughtfully customized to support the student’s unique learning style. Our instructors are professional, working musicians who combine technical instruction with creativity, encouragement, and real-world musical experience. Whether your goal is to build a strong foundation, improve technique, learn your favorite songs, prepare for performances, or explore songwriting and improvisation, private lessons provide the flexibility to grow at your own pace.

Have you always wanted to play in a band—or miss the feeling of making music with others? Beantown Music School’s Adult Band Program is designed for musicians ages 18+ who want to collaborate, grow their skills, and experience the joy of playing together in a supportive, low-pressure environment.

Whether you’re returning to music after years away or ready to take your playing to the next level, our adult bands bring together musicians of similar experience levels and interests. Bands rehearse weekly under the guidance of a professional instructor who helps shape arrangements, develop musicianship, and build confidence both individually and as a group.​

Playing in a band is one of the most powerful ways young musicians grow—building confidence, collaboration skills, and a deeper connection to music. Beantown Music School’s Pre-Teen and Teen Band Programs offer students the chance to join a band for a full season of weekly rehearsals, working together toward a live performance at the end of the session.

Bands are grouped by age and experience level and are led by professional instructors who guide students through learning songs, rehearsing as a group, and developing strong ensemble skills in a fun, supportive environment.
