    I am an adult student and have been taking lessons from Maureen at Ride Music for about 5 years now. Truly enjoying the experience and I have learned a great deal. Maureen is a patient and inventive teacher. I particular love the small group classes. Theyre fun and I find I learn more in a group lesson than in a private lesson, which I didnt expect. Highly recommend Ride Music Studio.

    I have been taking piano lessons with Maureen at ride music studio since almost a year.Maureen follows simplymusic technique to teach piano.I have learnt lot of songs with her so far and still learning more.Maureen is very patient when it comes to teaching and she always has a plan in mind about what all things to teach within 45 minutes class.She also arranges lot of events like playing at senior living homes, jam sessions, etc which I feel is really exciting.I would definitely recommend ride music studio if you want to enjoy playing piano and not just follow the coursework.

    The teaching method allows you to play songs right away. Successes first, then you can learn to read sheet music.

    Frequently asked questions

    We first do a free introductory session to see if we are a good fit. 

    We learn to play songs directly at the piano, both hands, including contemporary, blues and classical pieces. My students play great sounding music from their very first lessons. 

    As we continue, we learn accompaniment, Improv,  and reading skills.

    I’ve been a professional musician since 1996 and a piano teacher since 2010.

    I have played piano, guitar, and clarinet since childhood. I chose not to major in music in college, however I took college level music classes and have continued to improve my music skills throughout my adulthood as well, performing professionally as well as playing for fun.

    Students pay semester tuition.

    I’ve been playing music since childhood and teaching for most of my adult life. I’ve always loved to play and teach music!

    Children ages 4 and up and adults

    Visit the teacher to get a feel for their teaching style. All teachers are different… we don’t compete on price. We have our own approaches and niches. Interview more than one teacher. Find the best fit for you/your child!
    Would you prefer 1:1 lessons or learning in groups with your friends? Do you want to focus on classical music, pop music, jazz, or a mix? What times do you have available for weekly lessons? What kind of practice commitment is reasonable for your family?
