Music Lessons in NYC

As a premier music school in NYC, Riverside Music Studios strongly believes in a personal approach to every student: our program concentrates on individually tailored curricula. Students at Riverside Music Studio also have the opportunity to study with some of the finest musicians in the industry.

We offer instruction for both children and adults; students at our school range from under 4 years old to more than 80 years old. We are happy to work with absolute beginners, intermediate, or advanced musicians. Our private music lessons in NYC are available on a variety of instruments at our studio or in your home.

Riverside Music Studios was founded in 2002 by Dr. Dmitry Alexeev, a concert pianist and a prolific educator. We grew from a small, private neighborhood studio offering piano lessons in NYC on the Upper West Side – to a full music school with two locations – on 55th and Broadway in Midtown, and on 160 Broadway in FiDi/BPC (opening January 2023!). We are proud to have a faculty of some of the best performers & music teachers in Manhattan.

"I’ve been taking piano lessons at Riverside for almost 5 years now! I can’t say enough about this music studio. I’ve worked with several different teachers during my time there and have been overly impressed with all of them. Although my main focus is piano I expressed my interest in violin and Riverside was able to place me with one of their fantastic violin teachers as well. Whatever your interest is in music Riverside will be able to accommodate! By far one of the best studios in NYC!!!"Matthew

The Most Overlooked Aspect of Playing the Piano

What makes a professional pianist sound different than an amateur? In this article, we discuss the most overlooked aspect of playing piano: balance!

How do I play songs with piano chords?

If you're dying to learn how to play your favorite song but you don't yet know how to read music,  you can still learn how to play songs with piano chords!

Can you learn how to write your own songs?

Playing music is just part of the fun we have in music lessons. Learn how to write your own song by creating a melody and accompaniment using scales - even if you've never written one before!
