About Ms. Rivera's Music Academy

My teaching style is very personalized. I tune in on your strengths and build confidence in areas you are weak. I simplify the most difficult tasks and make them manageable. I teach you to trust your instincts and be confident in self-expression. I love seeing the joy my students get out of mastering what they once thought was impossible.

Mrs. Rivera brings positive energy and a sense of fun to every lesson. She is organized, communicates clearly, and makes her instruction easy to follow. She has a strong knowledge of the piano and thoughtfully explains the reasoning behind her teaching methods, which promotes understanding and confidence in her students. I highly recommend her 😊

Since I am a 73 year old beginner Ms Rivera put me at ease during my introductory lesson.

A pleasure to have Ms. Rivera as our piano teacher for my 4 year old son! Ms.Rivera is kind, sweet,energetic and passionate. Ms.Rivera is very patient and understanding and pushes my son in thinking with her open ended questions. She has been an amazing experience and pleasure to continue working with. We highly recommend Ms. Rivera!

Ms Rivera has been teaching my 5 year old daughter for the past two months. She is patient and kind and makes the lesson fun each week. She uses stickers to motivate which my daughter loves. I would recommend her highly.

The last time I played the violin was in my 7th grade orchestra. Ms. Rivera has patience and is extremely pleasant to work with. I would definitely rehire her again! :)

Dear Ms. Zuzette Rivera, My first thoughts of learning to play the piano at my age was intimating, until I met you. I am very fortunate that I found an experience, patience music teacher and with a good sense of humor. Your caring and encouraging words has helped me with the jitters when I sit at the piano. Your positive feedback during my lessons gives me the confidence I need. And I know I will learn how to read music and play the piano. Thank you Virginia
