I wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for the amazing guitar lessons and intro my girls have gotten over the past few months! They are LOVING lessons and practice at home. Their love for all things music has grown and blossomed in this time. We had a difficult experience with piano lessons a few years ago, and since then have avoided all things piano and most music in general. My girls are now composing their own songs on the piano and getting creative with all kinds of music and instruments. They especially LOVE guitar. Brett is an awesome facilitator and the girls really enjoy the fun lessons and positive encouragement to practice at home and improve.

I’ve been learning Ukulele with Alexis for the past 4 months and it’s been great! I’ve learned how to play chords, notes, and read music. Would highly recommend if you’re looking to learn ukulele or guitar.

Dean and all of the teachers are fantastic! Dean helped us find the right class for our daughter, and was very helpful and patient as we had a few schedule changes. We especially love the online videos to help us practice at home. I highly recommend Riverside Guitar School!

I'm here to sing the praises of Riverside Guitar School! Three of our children are currently enrolled in music lessons: our seven-year-old daughter takes piano, and our six-year-old twin boys are enjoying guitar. In our first few weeks of lessons, a few things have really stood out. First, Dean, the owner, demonstrates great care and attention to detail. When we called to learn about options, he picked up the phone and discussed what would work best for our family. He followed up quickly with scheduling ideas, and thoughtfully responded to our questions and needs as we prepared for our first lesson. Second, our guitar and piano teacher, Micah, is calm, encouraging, positive and knowledgeable. He does a great job of breaking down complex ideas into kid-friendly language, and creates and atmosphere that is welcoming, fun, and focused. Third, the materials at Riverside Guitar are BEAUTIFUL! The guitars, the studio, the selected songs, and the curriculum and learning materials, all feel intentional and special. You can tell this business was a labor of love and deep thinking. Perhaps most importantly, Riverside Guitar has proven to be an inclusive environment. We have a child with special needs, and both Micah and Dean have made us feel welcomed and supported. As a result, ALL of our kids feel good about themselves in their classes. This place is a gem. Hooray for Riverside Guitar!

My daughter has attended Riverside Guitar School for the past year and has had an incredible experience. Dean has created an atmosphere that is both welcoming and relaxed. The teachers meet their students where they are experience-wise and help to bring them to the next level. I wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend this school for guitarists of all ages and abilities, we have had great interactions with everyone associated with the school.
