Music Lesson Instructors in Ridgewood, New Jersey (Bergen County)

Violin and viola lessons. Classical Russian technique.

I have over 30 years of experience in teaching piano and vocal, and have students different ages from 3 y.o. to 70+. I like to give my students all around skills: from good ability to sight read music to at least basic knowledge of music theory, and more theoretical knowledge for advance students. I offer different lengths of lesson: 30 min, 45 min, and 1 hour. For older children or adult students recommended lesson length is 45 min to 1 hour. The 30 min length is good for younger children that can't concentrate for longer time. I offer lessons in my studio, I also can travel to student's house but a fee will be added to the lesson price depending on the distance of travel. My studio located in Garfield Bergen county...
