R iverside Academy of Music is a non-profit school of instruction for the study and performance of music. Established in 1952, Riverside has a proud tradition of providing a variety of music education and awareness opportunities to the Cleveland community. While the school has changed location and altered its name, the commitment to the community and the musical arts has remained constant.
Music is used as a therapy with individuals with special needs.
All ages and special needs are served both at Riverside and through contracting with community agencies and facilities. Our music therapists are Board Certified or board eligible as well as members of The American Music Therapy Association and The Ohio Association for Music Therapy. The weekly 30 minute sessions are offered in the center to all children - from infant through Kindergarten. All equipment is provided by Riverside. These concerts are free and open to the public.
