“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!“
“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!“
“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!“
“Carol is an amazing piano teacher! She has been teaching my daughter for the past 7 years. We are very happy with carol’s mentorship. My daughter started as a beginner with carol. Now, she is playing beautifully and progressed much farther than I expected. I am also a piano player and am very impressed with how diligent and hard working carol is. She really cares about her students and makes sure they work to their potential. She has inspired my daughter to work hard and become a very fine pianist. We were very lucky to have met carol. I highly recommend Carol.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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“
“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’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!“
“Highly recommend Shostakovich School of Music, Art & Dance! My child has been attending this school for years. We are so grateful of the professionalism of the classes, program and experienced faculty. My child attended classes ranging from Piano, Vocal, Art and Modern Dance. Due to the expertise of the teachers, my child gained an immense amount of knowledge, skills and abilities which resulted into getting an acceptance into a gifted school for Arts and Sciences--based on Piano and Vocal skills assessment. I have attended numerous concerts that were held in large theaters and musical halls such as, Steinway Hall. It has always been a pleasure to see the amount of work and dedication that goes into these performances. You can certainly tell that both the children and instructors genuinely love what they do. Attending these concerts always feels like Broadway productions and high level Ballet performances. My child loves to attend all the classes, she gained has a passion for performing and obtained an extensive amount of skills and life long friends. I believe it is very important to invest into children's development in every aspect and I would highly recommend Shostakovich for children of all ages!!“
“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.“
“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.

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...“
“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!“
“Jeremy Miller is, hands down, the best trumpet teacher we had for our daughter. He's very professional, invested in his students and also flexible and works with their schedule. Highly recommended“
“We go to the garden for a week. My son was against it, but now he gets up on his own and goes there of his own free will.“
“The first time I met Anthony and Susan was when my daughter, Meredith, 3 years old at the time, had just been evaluated as having mild to moderate autism and I was looking for alternative ways in which she would be able to express herself. When I told Susan and Anthony about Meredith and her situation, they opened their arms and accepted who she was without asking any questions. It was tough at the beginning to teach my daughter because she wasn’t talking and did not follow any directions. But Susan was very patient with her and very knowledgeable of what type of instruction was needed. Within a few weeks, my daughter thrived—she played songs with two hands, read notes by herself, recognized the sounds being played, and most importantly, she started to talk. I was very touched and thrilled to discover that my daughter was able to communicate and interact with people other than her parents. This November will be the one year anniversary of my daughter’s first lesson with Susan. Within the year, Meredith had noticeably improved and had demonstrated the ability to play more and more difficult pieces. She even had her very first piano recital and completed a song all by herself. She said to me after the recital that she wasn’t scared, not even a bit!Of course, there are ups and downs during the lessons, but Susan and Anthony are always there for us and give us the best advice after each lesson, as well as share their personal experiences with other kids in need. I am very grateful that I have met them and very delighted that my daughter has found her music home.“
“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.“
