Musical Instruments & Teachers in New York

“I brought my son to Little Maestros down at MyGym in Tribeca front he time he was 6 months to a year. Every week was just a bit different, but what I noticed and loved the most was the consistency of every class. We had Lance and Danielle as our main teachers, but anytime we had a sub, they were all absolutely seamless in their movements, singing, everything. Truly impressive and you can tell alot of work, practice and preparation goes into this. Thank you so much Little Maestros for such a fun and entertaining class for the littles and this tired mom!“

“West Amadeus was so easy to work with and provided great intro to piano for my kids. Emilija was a great teacher for my daughters (5 and 8), she was very kind and inspired the girls to love piano. I couldn't believe how much they improved over the year!“

“Berit Johnson is so excellent. I can’t wait to book coaching with her again, I feel so confident about the audition I have Monday that she and I prepared. ❗️?“

“Our children started playing piano with Anna from TMA, both at 3.5 yo. Our son also took on Violon once he turned 6 years old with Ms Bo who is excellent. Within a few months they made significant progress and sat through 30 minutes motivated and comfortable. We are very proud and mostly grateful to our outstanding teachers and their professional yet fun approach to music.“

“I've been taking classes with Shareef/Harlem Music Studios for about 6 months now and it's been lovely. I take their group piano class and it's so much fun. Shareef is attentive to each student's needs, clear at explaining, and knows when to push us while bringing joy to the class. He strikes that perfect balance of adding discipling to his teaching but keeps it fun and light. He brings in a wide array of music options for us from classical, to blues, to pop. Can't recommend Harlem Music Studios enough. We are lucky to have this place in our community!“

“I have really enjoyed my time with Peter as I learn the piano! I feel as if I have really improved, and most importantly, I have had lots of fun!“

“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“

“Carol is an truly amazing piano instructor. My daughter started with her at five years old, and we were consistently impressed by Carol's dedication. She expertly teaches technique, prepares students for exams, and puts her heart into organizing beautiful recitals at Steinway. Under her guidance, my daughter's confidence soared. Our biggest regret after moving out of state was leaving Carol's unmatched teaching. She is simply the best! She continues to check in and found us an instructor that is as amazing as she is!“

“Our experience with Further School has been very positive. The instructor, Carrie, is patient and brings positive and encouraging energy. The venue is clean and accessible. Would recommend“

“We have been very happy with Further Music. My daughter has been taking private piano lessons with Miss Eve for about a year and really enjoys them.
She also attended the Taylor Swift Guitar & Vocal class, where, with Miss Eve’s guidance, the group wrote a song together. It was a fun experience that helped build her creativity and confidence. If the schedule allows we will continue with this class.
My husband also attends the adult rock band course and has a great time. He really enjoys the sessions and the opportunity to play music with others.
The teachers have been excellent, and although there has occasionally been some miscommunication, overall our experience has been very positive and we get along very well with everyone. We would definitely recommend Further Music to other families.“

“I first met Karen a few years ago and started taking lessons with her before COVID. Honestly, I had no idea I could sing the way I do now before working with Karen. Without a doubt, she is by far one of the best vocal coaches I’ve ever known. Her teaching style is not only professional but also incredibly inspiring.
Now, my daughter has started taking lessons with her too, and she absolutely loves Karen’s teaching and her honest feedback. Karen has a gift for bringing out the artist in you, helping you reach your full potential while making the process enjoyable and empowering.
If you’re serious about improving your singing, Karen is the vocal coach you need. My daughter and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!“

“I cannot recommend the New York Conservatory of Music enough! I enrolled with the goal of learning piano, and I’ve been amazed by how much I’ve progressed. The faculty took the time to tailor lessons to my learning style, helping me not only develop strong technical skills but also gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of music. Their encouragement has fueled my passion and confidence. The personalized attention and expert guidance I’ve received here have truly been transformative.

The opportunities to perform in prestigious venues like Carnegie Hall have been incredibly rewarding, and the sense of community among students and instructors makes it a place I look forward to visiting every week. The group lessons, online classes, and master classes have provided additional layers of learning and growth. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced musician, this school is a fantastic place to cultivate your talent and love for music. If you’re serious about your musical journey, the New York Conservatory of Music is where you want to be!“

“We love Tone Academy's program and the teachers! We have Mr. Michael and he has done a wonderful job with the toddler class. They are always so thoughtful on the themes and really provide the children with amazing instruments/ hand-made tools after every class so the children could continue the music education at home.“

“This was my first time getting my bow rehaired at Salchow & Sons, and I love it! I asked for black horse hair, and it was perfectly done. I really love how it makes my violin sound more full bodied and richer. Thank you so much!“

“Josh had turned me into 77 year rocker. He's a fantastic teacher. He has me playing songs I thought I'd never play—Highway to Hell, Gimme Shelter, and What's Going On.

The school is a caring community thanks to the efforts of Josh, Trevor, Tim, Eve, Sarah, and Jules.

I'm now a member of a band that plays at the school's music recitals. It has added to the quality of my life as a senior adult.

It is a great place.

“One of the best music schools in New York City! My kids absolutely love studying here. They’re part of the rock and jazz band, take theory, voice, and piano lessons, and every instructor has been nothing short of excellent — talented, warm, and truly dedicated.

A special shout-out to Kaitlin, who leads the Summer Musical Theater program. She’s incredible — loving, extremely prepared, and endlessly patient. The annual community events they organize are amazing and full of heart.

Also, Myra from Student Services is always on top of everything. She’s accessible, supportive, and helps with any schedule changes my kids need. I’m very happy and impressed with the education and overall experience my children are receiving.

Highly recommended! ??“
