Musical Instruments & Teachers near New City

“Current teachers- Lila (violin)& Olena (piano) are superb, knowledgeable & kind!! Contract payment-month to month. Office manager, Manny is friendly & efficient. Two free recitals a year at the school, though the space is tight. Private lessons- violin, drum, vocals, guitar, piano etc. Some group lessons (camp)during summer. On site parking available limited but can park on lot of Burger King which is next to their site.“

“We have had such a wonderful experience at Rockland Music! My daughter plays piano here, and the teachers are truly exceptional, patient, knowledgeable, encouraging, and passionate about what they do. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which makes every visit a positive experience. We have seen so much growth in both her skills and confidence.“

“It is a pleasure as a Drummer to walk into this store. Frank Colonatto the owner is always there and extremely helpful. Lots of great stuff used at great prices. Get there don't wait like I did.“

“Lessons at Bennett Conservatory have helped my children continue to learn and improve. Although they play the same instrument, their teacher recognizes their differences and adapts the lessons to meet each of their learning styles. Great school!“

“I've always loved theatre and worked backstage in high school, which was a fun experience. I also wanted to try being on stage but felt too shy or not good enough. However, when I saw auditions open at my local community theater for my favorite play, Ragtime, I thought, why not? I work in Nyack and saw that Rivertown Music Studio did audition prep. I emailed Chris, and he agreed to help me prep for my audition once a week from October until the audition in January. He was amazing to work with - direct, kind, and helpful. I gained the confidence to try out for the first time, get a role, and join a wonderful cast and crew at County Players. It was an experience of a lifetime and who knew, I CAN sing! I went back to Chris to try out again, and due to Chris's help, my voice became stronger, and my technique improved. I didn't get a part this time, but was proud of my audition. I can't recommend Chris and Rivertown Music Studio enough. They are flexible, professional, and honest. Everything you need in a teacher.
I look forward to working with them again.“

“My son has been taking piano lessons here. He loves his teacher, John, and we love the staff, teaching approach and overall vibe of the school. We tried lessons elsewhere in the area and nothing was the right fit. Now he's eager to go to lessons, and when he comes home from one, he immediately wants to keep on playing and share what he's been working on. So happy we found
Croton Harmon Music Academy!“

“The folks who run this shop are terrific. Both of my children have rented instruments here for years. (viola and cello) I’ve never had an issue. The prices are reasonable and service is outstanding. The store is well staffed. Highly recommend for renting instruments.“

“Absolutely love music with Sean and Alex, who are kind, fun, and talented. They create a supportive, engaging environment and are extremely patient with my two boys as they learn how to interact with others and participate in group activities. Thank you!“

“The best local music shop! I was lucky to take lessons here for many years in my childhood. Woodside helped me establish my love for the guitar and I still play avidly in several bands almost 20 years later. I developed advanced skills learning here.

Kind, helpful staff & great shop for new gear and repairs!“
