Riverside Music Studios – Downtown

We can’t recommend Brad Crossland enough. My son started piano with Brad from zero, and over the past year we’ve seen steady, real progress thanks to Brad’s thoughtful and professional teaching style. Brad is clearly passionate about both music and teaching, and he truly understands how kids think and learn. He’s calm, patient, and encouraging, and he respects each child’s individual personality. He takes the time to meet both students and parents where they are and does his best to adapt lessons to fit everyone’s needs, which we really appreciate. Brad is also a formally trained drummer and percussionist, and he recently started introducing my son to the drums. Under his guidance, my son picked it up very quickly. The lessons are creative, relaxed, and effective, and it’s been wonderful to see how confident and excited my son has become — he’s completely fallen in love with drumming. We also really appreciate Riverside Music Studio. They have an excellent network of talented, passionate, and professional teachers across different instruments. The studio is always well organized, communicates smoothly and promptly with parents, and does a great job matching kids with the right teacher. They’re very easy to work with, and we’ve felt well supported every step of the way. We feel very lucky to be part of the Riverside community and are looking forward to many more years ahead.

I never thought it will be us but my kid is always happy and looks forward to each session. The teachers are caring, professional, and make every class an amazing experience. We couldn’t be more grateful.

Masako is a great teacher! Highly recommend

My son has been attending the music school for more than a year. Our teacher Mr. Braam is not only an accomplished pianist but also a passionate music educator. He shows patience and support to my son who looks forward to his lessons. The school gives us an opportunity to perform at recitals which is invaluable experience for young students.
