MORE THAN JUST MUSIC LESSONS
At Riff, music goes beyond the lesson room. Every student has opportunities to join bands, take the stage at local venues and open mics, and record in our professional recording studio. These aren’t your typical lesson recitals. They’re real music experiences built into the Riff curriculum.
Because learning music is more fun when there’s something to look forward to.

Questions About Music Lessons at Riff
Piano, guitar, drums, voice, violin, viola, cello, bass, ukulele, saxophone, clarinet, flute, trumpet, trombone, mandolin, banjo, songwriting, music production, artist management and much more.
Most children are ready to start music lessons around age 4 or 5, but the best starting age can depend on the instrument and your child’s readiness. Things like attention span, hand size, finger strength and dexterity, and even lung development for certain instruments can all play a role. We’ll help you find the right instrument and teacher for your child. Not sure if they’re ready? A free trial lesson is the easiest way to find out.
Your first lesson is completely free with no commitment or pressure to enroll. Your child will meet their teacher, experience a real lesson, and get a feel for Riff. Afterward, if it feels like a great fit, we’ll help you choose a weekly lesson time and get started.
Having your own instrument isn’t required to get started. We have loaner instruments available while your child gives music a try and sees if it’s a good fit. When the time is right, their teacher can help you choose the right instrument for practicing at home.
You bet! Each additional student in the same family receives 10% off their lessons.
We make rescheduling as easy and flexible as possible. Just give us at least 24 hours’ notice and you’ll receive a reschedule credit good for 45 days. Choose any convenient day or time during that window, or use your credit to try a different teacher, explore another instrument, or even let another family member take a lesson!
No contracts and no hidden fees. Lessons are simply month to month, giving your family the flexibility to continue for as long as Riff is the right fit.
Absolutely! About one-third of Riff students are adults. Whether you’re picking up an instrument for the first time or getting back into music after years away, we welcome students of all ages and skill levels.
