What People Are Saying
“Isaac and Woodriver have been great for my family. They have created a supportive environment for my daughter and me to learn in. The lessons and delivery are organised, professional and flexible for developing the skills for my musical tastes. Woodriver do a great job of helping students learn correct technique without losing the joy of the instrument. I would happily recommend them to anyone.”
— Michael Turon
“Woodriver is one of our favourite spots to visit! Our favourite part about Woodriver is looking around and discovering a new toy that can enhance our recordings. Whether it's some nasty looking guitar amp/pedal (lurking in the back of the studio) or the delicate 70's fender Rhodes (politely waiting to be played), Joe and the gang at Woodriver have provided so many opportunities for you to apply new sounds and tricks into your recording session.”
— Andrew Jago
“I have received bass tuition from Liam at Woodriver Studios for a couple of years. Liam is a very supportive, encouraging & patient teacher. The mix of technique, theory & just playing during lessons, has greatly improved my playing, inspired me to play more and has been really enjoyable. Thanks Liam.”
