Summer 2026 Piano Program
In-Home Private Piano Lessons in Hopkinton & Surrounding Towns — June through August
Summer is a quiet, generous season for music. With school schedules eased and afternoons opening up, students of every age have room to slow down, listen carefully, and make real progress at the piano. The Dolce Piano Summer Program brings warm, unhurried in-home piano lessons to families across Hopkinton and the surrounding MetroWest area from June through August 2026.
Whether your child is taking a deeper dive into a favorite piece, an adult is finally beginning a long-postponed first chapter, or an advancing student is preparing fall auditions and competitions, summer is a beautiful window for focused, joyful musical growth. Each lesson is private, taught at your home on your own piano, and shaped to the student's pace and goals.

Weekly Private Lessons
The classic format — one private 45 or 60-minute lesson each week, in your home, throughout the summer. Steady, sustainable progress at a relaxed pace.
Intensive Schedules
For students who want to make a bigger leap — preparing for an audition, polishing recital repertoire, or taking advantage of the open summer calendar — multiple lessons per week can be arranged.
End-of-Summer Mini Recital
Summer concludes with a small, friendly studio recital where students share what they have been working on. Warm, supportive, and never required — but always encouraged.
