What Our Students Say
We are so grateful to our students and families for our 100% 5-star rating from students and parents!
“I highly recommend Lydia and Tribeca Music for musical instrument lessons. Both of my children have been studying with her for almost 10 years now. It is a testament to her teaching that my children have happily stuck with their music lessons for so long! Lydia is a kind and patient teacher, while also pushing the children to work their hardest. My family has been incredibly pleased with her, and cannot imagine taking lessons with anyone else.”
Manisha C.
“My 4 year old son started taking guitar and piano lessons with Tribeca Music this year and has thrived! He is completely engaged for the entirety of the lesson, and his instructor is adept at working with toddlers/young children and meeting their interests while also teaching introductory principles of technique, music theory, songs to play etc. Tribeca Music has enriched my sons life and we look forward to many many years of music with them to come.”
Elizabeth K.
“I've taken lessons on and off in the past -- but the level of expertise, flexibility and engagement provided by Tribeca Music is yet to be matched!”
-James R.
“My daughter and I love Tribeca Music! We have been learning from Lydia for the last 4 years or so. My daughter has improved way beyond expectations and a lot of this is from the patient, kind, thoughtful and fun lessons Lydia brings. Even covid could not damper the love of learning and improvement of skills. We look forward to our lessons every week and can't wait to see what progress the following year will bring!”
Terri L.
“Our two kids are having a great experience learning guitar. Our teacher, Adam, is kind, talented, and punctual. Having a teacher come to your home is a huge plus and makes scheduling so much easier. The kids love their time with Adam and look forward to weekly lessons. I strongly recommend Tribeca Music!”
-Samir J.
“We have been with Tribeca Music for many years now. Lydia is an amazing piano teacher. She’s very knowledgeable, talented and professional. Our son’s progress through these years has been outstanding. Lydia’s teaching and her skills are the support that keeps him going and on track with his practice. In fact, he grew so much under her tutelage that he’s thinking about continuing his passion for music in a higher academic setting. In his own words, he couldn’t imagine life without music. Thank you Lydia for your unwavering commitment and support in making sure that his love for music is growing so beautifully.”
Aga K.
“Adam has helped my my daughter come so far! He really helped her confidence at start and now she wants to create her own tunes. We love it!”
-Zulekha C.
"Lydia is an incredible teacher. Clearly masterful in piano, she shapes that deep knowledge of her craft into a holistic approach - from theory to sight reading to tone. It’s a powerful way to learn because it brings depth to my practice. I can’t believe how much I’ve learned in so little time. Moreover, she is encouraging and a total joy to take lessons with.
I would (and often have) recommend her and her team to any new music student!"
-Colette K.
"I've been taking piano lessons with Lydia for the past nine months and it's the highlight of my week! Lydia is an incredibly talented pianist and a gifted teacher. As an adult beginner, it was important to find a teacher who could help me progress at a reasonable pace. It's so fulfilling to go from struggling to read a piece of music to playing an entire song.
If you want to learn the gift of playing the piano, and all of the joy it brings, Lydia and Tribeca Music are the absolute best!"
-Taylor R.
"I started playing piano with Lydia 9 years ago and I still love it! I would recommend Lydia to everyone. She is super nice, and she will help you learn anything. I like learning piano because I get to learn songs that I love. I especially love our recitals because then we get to show what we’ve learned and congratulate the other students on their hard work with their pieces."
