Jammin' With Josh


Welcome to Josh Shriber, who will be joining the TBS team as music teacher and Tot Shabbat song leader. Many of you know Josh as the Director of Jammin' With You. He also travels to schools and synagogues around the area teaching music and leading Shabbat services for adults and children.

When Josh was three years old, he couldn't keep his hands off his grandmother's piano — so she moved that piano to his house. His mom searched all of Worcester, high and low, to find him a piano teacher at such a young age. After some time, she finally found the only teacher in area who would accept a student so young, for which Josh is eternally grateful!

Josh received his first guitar for his 13th birthday and began teaching himself from songbooks of his favorite musicians. In college, Josh started his first band — Suspect — which toured the east coast alongside bands such as The Samples, and State Radio. After graduating from Wheaton College in 2000, Josh began giving piano and guitar lessons to support himself while playing in the band. His popularity as a teacher grew throughout his local towns of Newton and Wellesley, and thus, Jammin’ With You! was born.

So get ready to jam!
