“My family loves Hug Music! We've been going to them for about 9 years now (since our eldest was 15 months old). Their teachers are passionate and dedicated to providing a nurturing environment for students of all ages to learn music. We are very grateful to have found such a wonderful school and highly recommend Hug Music to anyone who wants to learn a new instrument or take their music skills to the next level!“
“We absolutely adore Little Maestros! My son has been going since he was 5 months old, and it's always been his favorite class in the rotation. Nick and the rest of the band are so talented and friendly. And there's so much going on: music, dancing, "what's in the box", puppets, and bubbles. Such a special class put on by really wonderful people :)“
“Joseph was the piano teacher for our two sons and was so wonderful. He was fun and gentle, and always made them feel so positively about the piano and their lessons. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a teacher who is passionate and great with kids.“
“My daughter age 9, has been attending Joe’s since Jun 2023 and she loves it! Would highly recommend!“
“Needed my guitar restrung so I called the soloist. Douglass answered and said to bring it in. He took care of it immediately. Easy, pleasant, fair, no nonsense same day service.“
“Francis has been amazing for my 9yo son's growth in musicality. We initially contacted him simply because we live nearby and because another music school (which will remain unnamed) disappointed us. But we quickly learned how much care he puts into his personalized lessons. He's also very communicative and punctual when it comes to scheduling, always a wonderful soft skill to have alongside the actual talent and patience required to help his students. We're so lucky to have met Francis!“
“I have been a student at Brooklyn Music Studio since I was 7 and it has been an absolutely incredible experience! Hagai and Jinah are amazing teachers, who are very good with working with kids of all ages and up to all levels. I am now going to Brown University for music and I can't capture in a review how grateful I am to the Brooklyn Music Studio for teaching me so much! Jinah is an amazing music theory teacher as well as a virtuosically talented piano teacher and player, and Hagai is an incredible violin and viola teacher and player (he focuses on building the most important technique skills and is kind and patient while still a challenging teacher.) In their lessons, both Hagai and Jinah meet you where you are, giving you the tools and skills to improve without shaming you. They are also extraordinarily welcoming, kind and funny people!“
“Mr. G is a wonderful and very patient professor! He takes time to thoroughly explain everything and makes piano lessons easy and fun!“
“I’m so thankful to have started attending lessons at Riverside Music Studios; it’s a great place to learn piano for a casual enjoyer or aspiring professional. I began my piano lessons a few months ago, and have been able to attend consistently because they offer lesson times in the evenings, which work great with my work schedule. From my instructor to the staff, everyone is extremely friendly and professional. I would highly recommend starting lessons here!“
“My 7 year old just finished his first week of summer camp at WSM. He woke up early every morning and got ready so he could be the first one there as the doors opened every day. This is not typical of my little guy who I typically have to drag out of the house, so it just proves this place is magic. He spoke so highly of his camp counselors/music teachers, Ben and Camille, and can’t wait to come back. Highly, highly recommended.“
“James was my music teacher for many years. Back from when I was a kid. He is a good, kind, and decent man. Other than being a world class musician he is a world class human being. He is an excellent teacher and no matter how frustrated he may have been with me or any other student for that matter you would never know. His knowledge of music is unparalleled and the simplicity in which he can break down something that you may feel is too hard to understand so that you can understand it is uncanny. He teaches you the right way. By that I mean that he explains not just what you are playing but why you are playing it. His only demand is that you put in the time and practice so that you are not wasting time. Both his and yours. Anyone looking for a world class music instructor look no further. James is your man and the side effect of his teaching is that you can have the honor of saying that you know him.“
“I owe all of my music ability (and increased passion for jazz) to Ridgewood School of Music. I have received poor advice from other teachers but never with Ridgewood School Of Music trumpet maestro, Bobby.Everything suggested moves me past my musical slump and launches me into new fun things.Lo mejor de lo mejor! <3“
“We absolutely love this school! Professional teachers and staff. I am so grateful to everyone in the school. I cannot thank them enough for all their teaching and caring. Maggie is great and she is on top of scheduling and sending reminders to parents for classes. Mr. Chris knows how to teach and motivate students’ music learning. My child enjoy going to the lessons there.“
“My child has been learning Piano for a bit more than two years with Huiwen. He grew so much as a musician. Huiwen is a fantastic teacher. She is kind yet serious enough, patient and creative. She clearly loves what she does - teaching music to kids - and it makes a huge difference. I can not recommend her more!“
“Kim at KB Sax extends the enjoyment I experience playing saxophone right into the saxophone shop - on every level. Just a genuinely nice person, willing to freely share his knowledge, exceptional customer service and what a great product!I received a hand hammered KB by Kim Bock alto neck in October 2022 and after playing it for 3 months, I can confirm that it has been a great experience. I realize that most of our sound comes from us, but it’s refreshingly welcome to get that subtle yet noticeable boost from the right neck or the right mouthpiece - and Kim’s neck did just that.In a world full of marketing, trying to pull us in all directions, I’m so glad that I took the time to analyze all my options and eventually decide to go with Kim at KB sax. Thanks Kim.“
“Amazing place .. Joe and Jeanette are magnificent people, they are passionate about teaching music and are incredibly amazing as well as awesome in teaching music. My daughter loves going to Joe music center gives her a sense of normality during the pandemic ( plus she been going a few years there ). Joe and Jeanette deserves 100 's stars This is truly a Covid safe place everyone adheres to the safety precautions. Thank you Joe and Jeanette for being who you are...“
“The NY Conservatory of Music is such an exemplary institution. Dr. Stryjniak is a concert pianist who is an amazing instructor. His wife, Joanna, is such a lovely and warm human being. We also love Andre who is always so mindful to people's needs. Their students get to Carnegie, ABT and so on. Always a privilege to be around such talent and discipline.“
“Both of my children have been taught, one piano and the other guitar at this music school. Ms. Catherine the owner and piano teacher has a real touch for connecting with children and has been doing this for a long time with great results. The place is located right on the border between LIC and Astoria in a safe neighborhood strip of stores. The guitar teacher has changed in the last year but the new one is much better than the old one according to my son. A really great place for children to learn a musical instrument.“
“Been taking some private lessons with Marty to learn guitar and I couldn't be happier. Marty came highly recommended to me by my good friend Danny and he was so wise to send me to Marty. I played violin when I was younger but I was recently inspired to pick up the guitar and it's been great for my soul and Marty has been like a doctor diagnosing my bad violin habits and correcting them for guitar. I would recommend anyone to try out this gem of a music school in Brooklyn. It's never too late to pick up an instrument and play. Prices are reasonable and the studio is conveniently located and I always feel welcome.“
“Had an amazing time in Mr.Smiths class today at our local library. He has an amazing way of interacting with kids and a way of teaching them. So happy my son had this experience today“
“Rob thank you so much for the time and patience you gave my son. He has come a long way that’s to you.From my family to you, big thanks.“
“Nick is an outstanding music teacher. He is an educated musician who knows how to connect through music to the student. My son looks forward and enjoys taking lessons from Nick. We are lucky to have found him!“
