History
Established in 2005.
Rock Island Sound Rye, opened its doors in September 2005, and it has been open ever since, not easy to do these days!
Recently a second location was added in Tarrytown, NY, about 15 minutes West from the Rye store.
At the beginning Paul was more than just the only teacher at the store, he was also serving as the owner, teacher, secretary, accountant, cleaning lady, and everything else you can think of a business needs to operate on a daily basis, and yes, by daily I mean 8 days a week!
That’s the way it was for years!
Now, we have over 20 teachers between both stores, and we not only give private lessons, but also, in-home, group and after school programs all over Westchester, over 75 programs as of July, 2011!
