WHAT PEOPLE SAY
I've been with Mrs. Yulia for more than 10 years and enjoyed every moment with her. She is a very thoughtful teacher that genuinely loves music and all of her students. Taking lessons from her is sure to make you share the love of music!
Best school to teach kids music. Mrs. Yulia is the best piano teacher, very professional and sweet. Both my both daughters enjoy her class. She made them love music.

I was with Ms. Yulia for thirteen years (since I was five years old) and am graduating this year. During that time, she was always a supportive teacher who pushed me to improve and as a result of her teaching, I have cultivated and maintained a special love for music to this day, even though I will not be pursuing it in college. Music in turn gave me opportunities outside of school that have only served to enrich my life and has created memories that will stay with me forever.
We love music, and who does not? But when it comes to music classes, you get to be in the right place, especially if you’re having your kids take the lessons, because they are smart enough to sense the difference between a teacher, and a professional teacher, who challenges them to get the best of them, and yet makes them feel comfortable and excited! This is how my kids feel about Mrs. Yulia, who is really as sweet as music. The whole school environment is nice and encouraging.
My children (ages 4, 7, and 13) have been students at the West County School of Music since its inception. We have been very pleased with the quality of instruction at the school! The founder, Yulia Rife, has a long history of success as a piano instructor as evidenced by award winning students and the joy that her students have in playing the piano! We have been impressed with the compassion and care that all of the instructors at WCSM have shown their students, as well as their skill and talent not only as teachers, but also as performers.
We have been Mrs. Yulia's students for more than 5 years. She is a talented teacher. She knows how to approach kids of all ages, she makes learning music fun. The school environment is very nice and for us in a great location.
My two kids enjoy learning to play piano with Ms. Yulia for more than 5 years. She is a great piano teacher: patient, skilled, fun, serious, joyful.
I started with group lessons at a very young age and then moved to private lessons with Ms. Yulia until I graduated high school. She was a fantastic teacher who made me work hard yet made sure I was enjoying myself as well. Looking back, Ms. Yulia not only improved my skills in piano playing but also helped grow my passion for music. I highly recommend Yulia Rife and West County School of Music.
This is an amazing school for learning music. I have been learning piano here for 9 years, and I have learned so much! The teachers are amazing and everybody here is really nice!
Great music school. Excellent quality. My 13-year-old son learned to play guitar there. My daughter loves her piano lessons. She says Ms. Yulia is very kind and makes learning music fun.
My daughter has been learning piano since she was 6 with Ms. Yulia and love it since. Ms. Yulia's discipline but encouraging teaching style has made my girl to not only study seriously but also build up her confidence and nurture her love in music. Kudos to West County School of Music and Ms. Yulia for being my child's piano teacher.
Love Ms Yulia-daughter really enjoying piano - both fun and classical pieces! Been with her for many years now.
My son started with Harmony Road group lessons, and then for 9 years until graduating from high school he took private lessons with Ms. Yulia. Yulia Rife was a great influence on him. He had a natural enjoyment in music, but with Yulia, that love was able to grow and make roots that continue to bear fruit. Because of the nurturing of Ms. Yulia, my son is now majoring in music composition and building on the foundation that was established over many years at West County School of Music. My family has so much gratitude for all that Ms. Yulia gave to him, she will ever be a part of his’s musical and life journey wherever that may lead.
