  My son has been taking piano lessons at Riverside studio for about 6 months now. He started at 4, which is pretty young, and I wasn't sure if we could stick to it. His teacher is Mr. Paul Shinn, who is truly wonderful! He is so talented, patient and kind, and my son started to enjoy the lessons right away, so we decided to keep at it. Even though I didn't really expect too much at this age, there is definitely progress, he's learning how to appreciate music, getting confident at playing simple pieces and - very importantly- is having fun! A couple of our grandparents met Mr. Paul Shinn, and really liked him and commented on how patient and great with kids he is. He offers different activities to keep my son engaged, encourages initiative like singing, coloring the notes or trying out something new, and is really warm and kind. We love Mr Paul and highly recommend him and Riverside studios!

  I hadn't played the piano for 30 years when I decided to pick it up again.. I found Riverside and they have been wonderful at getting me back on track quickly. Their teachers are professional and extremely talented... I never thought I would be back at the level I am now in just a few short months. This is a great studio and I would recommend to anyone!

  When I started violin lessons with Deborah, I wasn't sure if it was still possible to learn to play beautiful music from scratch as an adult with a demanding full time job. I only knew I love violin music and that it was unacceptable to not try to get to know the instrument better. I started my first lesson as any child would, with Deborah explaining the four different strings on a violin to me. It wasn't easy to start learning like a child again after being in the adult world, but Deborah always makes me feel like it is the most natural thing in the world. I enjoy my lessons a lot and have committed myself to spending every weekend and many vacation days on practicing. In 15 months I went from zero violin skill to be able to play Dvorak's Humoresque. Knowing how to play violin has enriched my life enormously and I was lucky to be able to find such a good teacher to get me on the right track.

  My daughter has been having flute lessons from Mr. Yevgeny Faniuk of Riverside Music Studio for 3 years since she was 11 years old. I and my wife always try to be present at the lessons to observe how he teaches my daughter. He is such an excellent teacher. His words are almost always on point regarding my daughter's weak aspects, and he demonstrates how to improve through his own playing. He is an excellent concert flutist as well. We were once invited to one of his performances to witness his high skills and musical quality. He is patient towards my daughter in lessons and never forgets to encourage her in what she does well.

  Deborah is an excellent violin teacher. My 7 year old daughter started with her about 18 months ago and has made great progress! Violin is hard in particular as none of us at home know how to play and can help, and Deborah has a lot of patience and finds ways to make it fun and keep it interesting! We are super happy to have found Deborah at Riverside Music Studios!
