About Us
At Wayland School of Music we believe that whether you're a complete beginner or a developing artist, you deserve an experienced, enthusiastic teacher with a proven record of excellence as both teacher and performer. So we have a stringent hiring policy:
- Our private lesson teachers must have at minimum a Bachelor's degree in music and/or music education; almost all have a Master's Degree, and some also have a doctoral degree.
- They must have a minimum of 10 years of professional teaching experience (they average much more).
- They must also have achieved professional success as performers. WSM teachers have performed with the Boston Symphony, the London Philharmonic, the St. Petersburg (Russia) State Symphony, and many other professional orchestras and ensembles.
- Our group class teachers must have taught classes in a wide variety of settings.
Our teachers are passionate educators and inspiring musicians who "practice what they preach". They are patient, skilled, dynamic, and fun!
