What Our Students Say
“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 Academy has enriched my sons life and we look forward to many many years of music with them to come.”

“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.”
