Musical Instruments And Teachers near Riverside

“When my 3 year old played in her first recital after a few months of studying with Miss Nissa, I had no idea how it would go. Would she throw herself on the floor? Would she belt out "Let It Go" from the stage? Would she cry and refuse to bow to the audience?

I didn't need to be afraid. She did exactly as she had practiced - a deep bow that was met with thunderous applause and her stunned exhilaration. She practically floated back to her seat. Later, when we walked to the car, she held my hand and stopped me to say something I never expected to hear: "Mommy, thank you for believing in me."

And my heart exploded.

Nissa has created an environment where my daughter and I have this incredibly special activity we do together. It's our thing. And in so many ways, it's a metaphor for our broader relationship: exciting, creative, frustrating, confounding, loving and hilarious. We have so many games to play (pretend angry/goofy/happy fingertips), songs to sing and so many recital outfits to plan. And we have to work through the hard parts together, and our bond is stronger for it.

Violin brings me closer to my child, but it also gives her another adult to love, too. My child adores Nissa. She gives her running leaping hugs. She steals her chocolate kisses and they joke about it. She takes great pride in wiping off Nissa's dry erase board. She is entirely herself in Nissa's classroom.

There are so many more great things I could say, and so many more examples I could give, but the most important to me is this: Nissa has proven time and again that she is such a special teacher. She has texted me from her class at professional development conferences because she's so excited about a new idea to engage my kid. She delivered a note from the "Violin Fairy" to clarify that her bow should be used only in specific ways - and the note was hand decorated with a fairy, purple flowers and glitter. She brings the kids together after their recital to do yoga because she knows they need to decompress.

I'm so happy that Anderson Music Studio is part of our lives. It's one of the best investments our family has made. And whether or not my child ever plays violin professionally or recreationally as an adult, it has deepened our family's ability to love and appreciate music together.“

“This place is so close to me I will recommend all my clients here that need any violin/ stringed instruments needs! They are exceptional at what they do and provide amazing service!“

“My daughter had so much fun in her Meet the Orchestra class! The teachers were really great and made exploring new instruments so enjoyable for her and not intimidating. She came out of the week eager to continue with music lessons!“

“Every time I practice music it makes me want to play a song for love to a young staff and young musicians“

“Miss Sarah Gasse is patient, kind, and strength based in her Suzuki approach. She has kids, which may be reflected in her patience for her students' antics and ways of being and learning. I'm taking violin lessons with my 5th grader and I couldn't be happier. She is encouraging, kind, and insightful. I've taken music lessons before and I do not respond well to rigid instructions, Miss Sarah is fluid and graceful. Excellent experience. Free and easy parking.“

“Musical Chairs Studio and Ethan are so fantastic! Ethan is such a great teacher. I’m an adult piano student, and he is so good at explaining things to me and matching my progress. I would definitely recommend him and Musical Chairs Studios.“

“Hands down the best music school by far! We have been to other music schools but the staff here are friendly, knowledgeable and have actually been advanced musicians in their respective fields. Excellent one on one instruction! 5 stars!“

“Good morning, I'm interested, I would like to ask...does age not matter? And what are the registration prices? Thank you“
