We have been specially designed as a facility for music study. Each acoustically isolated, spacious studio features large, sound-proof windows and is furnished with a new piano from Allegro Pianos, with whom we share the building. High-tech video, acoustic recording and webcasting facilities will be built into each studio. Our 80-seat recital space, with a deck overlooking the serenity of the pond, is furnished with some of the best concert grands available for students performances.

At Long Ridge, we offer private lessons for every level in piano, guitar, strings, voice, brass, woodwinds and more. The interaction of student and teacher is critical to mastering a musical instrument, and so each student is carefully matched with a teacher. Weekly lessons can be 30, 45 or 60 minutes in length.

Both of my children benefitted from the highly skilled teachers at Long Ridge Music Center. They went for acoustic and electric guitar, but we also experienced the progress other students made through recitals on piano, drums, vocals and more. Instructors are very focused on building skills and confidence and the management team is great to work with and maintains a great culture for learning. Highly recommended.

My kids have been taking piano lessons at Long Ridge Music Center for 5 years. It is a very well run shop that we visit every week like an extended family. Our teacher Jeb loves kids and our kids love him too. Jeb is a professionally trained classical pianist and very good teacher too. My 4th grade boy is now playing Beethoven Sonata No. 19 and 20 and my 2nd grade girl is now playing Clementi sonatas.

I myself as an advanced amateur also took lessons with him for recital preparation. My kids look forward to the semi-annual recital held in the school concert room. I got lots of memorable pictures over the years. I am also happy with the monthly automatic tuition payment structure with vacation days built in. It's one less thing for me to worry about.
