Music with Monique, LLC

Music schools in Manhattan often feel like an afterthought—tucked between dry cleaners and delis—until you realize how many families actually rely on them. Music with Monique, LLC fits that quiet rhythm, offering lessons that don’t demand a conservatory-level commitment. The focus stays on children, with programs designed to keep young students engaged without overwhelming them. Parents in the area tend to notice how these spaces become part of the neighborhood’s daily hum, especially when school lets out and the sidewalks fill with kids carrying instrument cases.

You’ll find the studio at 160 Riverside Blvd New York, NY 10069, a stretch of the Upper West Side where brownstones and high-rises share the same block. The address places it near the river, close enough that some students might walk over after school if they live in the nearby towers. Directions are straightforward; a quick check of the map will confirm it’s just off the main drag. The building itself blends into the streetscape, but the sign is clear once you’re looking for it.

For anyone curious about scheduling or availability, they can be reached at (702) 994-2340. The number’s area code stands out—an oddity in a city where most exchanges start with 212 or 646—but it hasn’t stopped families from calling. The Upper West Side’s mix of long-time residents and newer transplants means demand for kid-friendly activities stays steady, and music lessons often top the list. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t need a flashy storefront to draw attention; word spreads when a child comes home humming a new tune.
