We use traditional violin method, the Suzuki method, and a combination of both depending on your goals. Please contact us for our current openings and we will be happy to help you make the most beautiful sound on the violin!

Schedule an Intro Lesson

“This is a great music studio! I have been taking violin lessons with Deborah and piano lessons with Peter for almost two years now. Let alone the improvement of my skills, I oftentimes get inspired by Deborah’s attentive teaching style and Peter’s knowledge in the piano literature. During semesters when I wasn’t too busy, I had also taken voice lessons with Liz; their love for playing and teaching music is clearly shown through the weekly lessons as well! On top of the wonderful instructors, their admin team is always super responsive and helpful. Lessons at RMS have been a highlight of my weeks; I would recommend RMS to anyone who is looking for a well-run music studio!”

Performance Opportunities

Twice a year we offer performance opportunities to both children and adults where our students can perform solo, as a duet with your violin teacher, or with piano accompaniment.

Additionally, our music school hosts frequent studio performance classes. These group violin classes allow RMS students to listen and learn from each other in a supportive environment.

Quick Progress with Private NYC Violin Lessons

Our lessons are one-on-one lessons with your violin teacher, so you will see the progress right away!

Choosing an Instrument

Violins come in many sizes and it is important to use the correct size to play healthfully and produce pleasing sounds. Riverside Music Studios carries all sizes of violins at our NYC music school.

At your first lesson, your violin teacher will determine which size is best, using our instruments. After that we will be happy to recommend where to rent or buy your own violin.
