Musical Instruments And Teachers near Yonkers

“Working with Regina has been…life changing (but not to be too dramatic). I’ve felt challenged and yet given the space to go at my own pace. She’s vivacious and something I love the most has been her adaptability. The true hallmark of a great teacher lies within the ability to fit the student’s mold and not ascribe one way of working, which she does in spades. Absolutely could not recommend Regina enough!“

“The physical store in White Plains is lovely, clean and so well organized. Eddie was very helpful as I was there to purchase a violin. This is the first string instrument I’ve attempted to play and Eddie was patient, explained things very well and demonstrated numerous violins. There was no attempt to upsell and my first lesson was terrific.“

“It is hard to overstate our enthusiasm for the NY String Academy. The faculty members are exceptionally accomplished musicians with a real knack for working with children. Our daughter started violin in 2017 (when she was three) and piano in 2018 (when she was four). Her progress on both instruments has been remarkable, thanks to the expert tutelage of Reun Chung. As importantly, our daughter looks forward to her lessons. Ms. Chung makes learning both easy and fun - each of which is obviously critical when working with very young children. Additionally, the school is flexible and accommodating in scheduling, and offers instrument rental programs (at least for violin) that allow you to gauge your child’s interest/aptitude without having to first buy an instrument. In short, we wholeheartedly recommend NY String Academy.“

“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!“

“My daughter absolutely loves it at NJ Dance Fusion. The dance teachers are amazing and the owner really builds professionals. If you are looking for a great dance school, this is it!“

“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.“

“My son has been taking piano lessons with Ms. Joy for about four years, and we couldn’t be happier. She is incredibly patient and thoughtful in how she paces each lesson — never overwhelming him, but always keeping him motivated and engaged. What I appreciate most is how she makes learning the piano enjoyable, so it never feels like a chore.

She also goes above and beyond to create meaningful experiences for her students. Twice a year, she organizes wonderful recitals where students can showcase their progress. She makes these events truly special by recognizing each child with named trophies, medals, or thoughtful gifts. On top of that, she encourages students to participate in auditions, which has given my son valuable opportunities to grow, take on new challenges, and significantly improve his skills.

We feel very lucky to have her as a teacher and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an inspiring and dedicated piano instructor.“

“What a wonderful time my daughter had taking vocal lessons from Mary! The results were amazing. ?“

“My 6-year daughter plays piano at Bennett Academy Of The Performing Arts. I am just amazed by how much she has learned and her excitement to attend her classes with Ms Bennett who is (quoting my daughter): “the best piano teacher in the entire galaxy!”Ms Bennett is not only a wonderful teacher and artist, she is an exceptional human being. She cares for her students and manages to keep them focused and motivated throughout her classes, even at a very young age - my daughter started when she was only 5.We feel so lucky to have found this amazing place!“

“Michael is an amazing and gentle teacher he definitely knows what he's doing I highly recommend!“

“Fast forward 25 years after decades of in again/off again guitar lessons when I was younger. I started taking guitar lessons with Vinny in October 2024 and have loved the experience thus far. He’s made music theory finally click. And his teaching style works with the way I learn. My playing has most certainly improved in these past few months. Looking forward to where this all can take me.“

“Mr. Park is a wonderful instructor. He is a true musician and a gifted teacher whose free and kind spirit naturally inspires children to explore the world of music.“

“Awesome music ? teacher. Learned to play the 5 string banjo. Attention to detail and explanation on how to play. Thanks Greg“

“Mrs Lisa turned my 5 yr old into an enthusiastic music student and confident performer in only a few months. My daughter can now perform 7 full-length vocal pieces by memory and several piano pieces too. Not only is Mrs Lisa a skilled musician with genuine Broadway cred but also a great teacher helping her students build upon their strengths and also discover hidden talents they didn't know they had. It's hard to imagine finding a better teacher for my little one than Lisa.“

“CSP Music School has been an incredible experience for my child. The teachers are patient, talented, and really know how to inspire a love for music.“

“Very good service..They have been in business for many years. They are veey fair and knowledgeable. I'd go back there to service my amps..“

“We truly can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience over the past three years—especially working with Peter. He has been an incredible teacher, and my kids have not only learned so much, but have genuinely developed a love for piano. Watching their growth and confidence has meant a great deal to us, and we are so grateful for the time, care, and dedication he has given them.“

“Our son has been going to PY rock in North Bergen for a year now and we love it. I knew we were in good hands when I heard kids playing modern cool music and we met the teacher - Abraham. Abraham really took his time to teach our son some basics about music and how it’s everywhere. He’s also super patient and kind. My son loves him and we love the school. I hope they implement DJ classes soon as I think that would be a super cool skill and song writting.“

“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.“

“Great sound quality, equipment, and overall experience.We were able to get the clarity we needed in a very comfortable environment. The equipment is well-maintained and the staff (being musicians themselves) were very accommodating to the artists. Highly recommend!“

“I just received a new bow in the mail from the folks at D Z Strad. I have nothing but incredible things to say about the service, care, and quality put into my order. The bow itself is a gorgeous silver braided carbon fiber bow with an ox horn frog and abalone slide. It plays beautifully, with incredible balance, and it’s the perfect weight for me. It draws a gorgeous color from my violin that I’ve never heard before! I was so excited to show my stand partner in orchestra, I think D Z Strad may even see him as a future customer! It was also such a treat to receive a personalized email wishing me a happy and healthy new year. I’d love to buy from this shop again!“

“Bach to Rock is a wonderful addition to River Edge. They really desire to give every child an opportunity to showcase their inner talents as a musician. Thank you for your generosity to St. Peter the Apostle Parish in River Edge!“

“I've been taking singing lessons here for nearly 2 years, and have had such a blast. The lessons are catered to the student's goals, whether you want to learn a song or expand you vocal range, sing without tension on your throat, etc. I've taken class with Iriana, Chris, Bas, and Grace. They are all great and I focused on different things with them. Iriana helped me sing with a full sound and with great pitch accuracy, Chris helped me with really performing a song. Bas is great explaining things technically and helped me unlock my mix and higher notes. I continued to work with Grace on my mixed voice and she is great with musical theater but also Ariana Grande. I'm an alto and now have access to my mix voice and couldn't be happier. They've helped me to appreciate my voice more for sure.

I'm in my 30s. And if you, like my mom, are asking if you are too old to take singing lessons, I assure you, you are not. Also, the dumont location has a parking lot for those concerned about parking.“
