My 13-year-old daughter took lessons from Nicola for a year - learned a lot and had a great time…read more Nicola was easy to communicate with, friendly, and knowledgeable. The only reason why the lessons ended is we are moving out of NYC. I highly recommend her as a guitar teacher. She brings out the best in her students.

I feel like she understood my son as a student since the first day and continually challenges him with guitar solos in a fun and encouraging way. She is punctual, but yet flexible with our crazy NYC schedules which make these lessons to follow doable for all of us. We are very lucky to have connected with her, and looking forward for him to develop and grow as a guitar player.

Natalia has been giving my 12 year old son some summer viola lessons, and I could not be more…read morepleased. She is very thoughtful about accommodating learning styles and making things interesting, and has been able to help him maintain focus through a full hour's lesson, which other tutors have not managed. I have appreciated getting a recap of what was covered so I can support between-lesson practice. Natalia is very committed to the individualized approach -- if you or your child need a different approach in order to learn well, Natalia will listen to you if you know what you need, or figure it out if you don't.

Even more, at the end of every lesson, she asks whether there is anything that she could be doing better. That openness to hear questions, criticism, or constructive feedback, is really the hallmark of a good teacher. I feel very fortunate to have stumbled across Riverside Music and can recommend them wholeheartedly.

We highly recommend Soyulla Artists. Our two sons (9 and 5 years old) have been taking violin…read morelessons with Soyulla Artists for over a year. They were matched with an awesome teacher, enjoy the lessons, and have made great progress. We are also pleased with the convenience of having in-home lessons at a reasonable price, receiving monthly progress reports, and having the opportunity for the kids to perform in recitals three times a year. Finally, the staff are exceedingly professional and responsive, making the entire experience pleasant and hassle-free.

If you are looking for piano lessons for you and your family, look no further than Soyulla Artists!…read more I am extremely satisfied with the quality of instruction that both my kids and myself are experiencing as we learn how to play the piano together. As a child, I remember being very interested in music and desiring to learn how to play the piano. However, after taking only a few lessons, I no longer wanted to practice. As a child, I could not see how memorizing scales and classical pieces could lead me to being fluent in the language of music and the performer that I wanted to be. The task seemed overwhelming and my interest began to wane. Soon after, my parents gave into my requests to stop the piano lessons altogether. Thankfully, my kids are having a completely DIFFERENT experience! Our highly qualified piano teacher from Soyulla Artists uses only the BEST musical pedagogy when giving lessons. Our teacher is extremely knowledgable and explains clearly, based on research, why he chooses to incorporate specific exercises into each lesson. Each lesson consists of not only piano playing but also singing, movement, posture, rhythm and ear training. My kids are also learning how to play duets and began playing together after only one lesson. After two lessons, my son already had the confidence to sit down and write his own piece of music and perform it! I am also extremely impressed that our teacher tailors each lesson to the exact needs of his student. Each lesson builds upon the other and keeps my kids engaged and hungering for more. Sensitive to the maturity and developmental level of his students, our teacher seems to know exactly how to engage us and what we each need to learn in order to move forward in our pursuit of becoming better musicians. If you are looking to improve your skills in a musical instrument, I highly recommend trying an instructor provided by Soyulla Artists. I think you will find that it is money and time well spent! Thank you Soyulla Artists for finding such an awesome teacher for me and my children!
