Riverside Guitar School

"Riverside guitar is awesome! I’ve always wanted to play guitar but never had the time to commit to it. I have been absolutely loving the Joy of Guitar 1 class and can’t wait to keep learning. The way they teach and the lessons I’ve been learning have been so great."

"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!"

"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."

"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!"

"Riverside is a warm and friendly place for all ages! The teachers go above and beyond to help me succeed. I've been in a group lesson for about 4 months and was able to hop right into a group lesson while getting personalized attention as well. I appreciate how each class starts off with a "check in" which helped me feel like I was a part of the group. I'm thankful I was able to rent a guitar for my practicing at home because I wasn't quite ready to purchase my own. I had the ability to try a variety from Riverside which will help me make a better purchase in the future. I would HIGHLY recommend Riverside to anyone!"
