Getting Started

Beginner Musician

Meet with our Director
If you are interested in classical private lessons, Suzuki programs, or Marimba Magic for the beginner musician, please schedule a 30-minute placement interview with the RSC Director. These informative and informal meetings will help us better meet the musical needs and style of learning of each student. If your child has already begun musical studies, please have him/her bring their instrument and a short piece of their choosing.

After the placement interview, the Director will place the student with an appropriate teacher based on schedule and learning style.

To schedule, please email:
music@rivers.org, Program Coordinator & Administrative Assistant
or telephone 781-235-6840
