“Tribeca Music has been a wonderful experience for our family! Josh is an excellent teacher, we look forward to having our younger daughter join the school as well.” -Alexandra
At Tribeca Music we offer more than cello lessons! We are proud to offer many popular instruments with expert teachers. This makes it convenient for students who wish to study more than one instrument, or for siblings within a family who want to pursue different instruments.
