He is a beyond extraordinary teacher! I would not have come this far in piano without his help! He’s so enjoyable to work with and very patient! I highly recommend 10/10! :)

One of the replacements I thought would be hardest to find upon moving to Oside ended up being the easiest! My son has been playing piano for about four years now and so it was super important to find a piano instructor that he would vibe with. For a 10+year old, he is quite picky and particular when it comes to those he learns with and from so I just knew this was gonna be no simple task. Six months prior to moving I began the search and can I just say, I never knew there was such a draught of male pianist that work with children!

I ended up broadening out my search from just in-home lessons to include studios and finally hit the jack pot. We met with Mr. Matthew during a free consultation and I have never seen my son so excited to play piano before. I signed him up that very day. It typically takes awhile before I can trust people alone with my son and that just was never even an issue here. The two of them hit it off right away and my son even kicked me out of the studio because he felt so safe.

When I asked my son why he preferred Mr. Matt over his last teacher, he, being the kind-hearted softy that he is, said he didnt want to hurt his other teachers feelings. I promised him I wouldnt tell his former teacher so in keeping with said promise, I wont reveal exactly what he told me. But I will let him speak for himself.

Words from my son:

Mr. Matt is so cool! He makes learning fun. He makes me love piano. Mr. Matt is super creative, fun, and the nicest person on earth. He is good at allowing me to make my own musical selections. Whether I want to play classical or pop, hes on it. Hes always ready, prepared, and so hip. Mr. Matt cares about me as a person and makes me laugh. Hes goofy just like me and teaches me the best way so I can learn. Im glad I can work with him virtually from home during the pandemic but I cant wait til I can go back to the studio to jam it out with him.

Its such an amazing feeling to hear my son say such heartwarming words about his piano instructor. He clearly looks up to Mr. Matt as an individual and instructor. I get such joy out of seeing my son practicing outside of his routine practice times at home and not just when hes on time-out in his room. Wether it be watching him explore learning how to play songs online or moving ahead in his music books on his own, or playing by reading actual notes, I know that every amazing thing he does is all thanks to Mr. Matt. Admittedly, his playing is one of those dreams I am living vicariously through him, but its so nice to see him owning the love of playing for himself!

Thank you, Mr. Matt! You are not only helping to mold a little boy into a bona fide piano player, but you are helping to mold him into a man he will one day be proud to become.

Mr. Matthew is always so patient with Andy, he listens to his stories and responds with excitement and compassion. Andy has learned so much about music and playing the piano and I am so amazed and excited for him :-)

Mr Matthew is a wonderful teacher! He is kind, intuitive, and able to tailor his teaching to the needs of his students. He also makes lessons fun and motivating. My daughter was

playing complicated pieces of music in just a few months! We highly recommend him as a teacher!

Mr. Matthew has helped my daughter embrace her musical talent with enthusiasm and grace. He never fails to meet her where she is. Though he sets a high bar to encourage her to strive toward her potential, he understands that she’s a kid who has highs and lows. As a teacher he has not only taught her the structure to play and read music, but he’s helped her develop the self-confidence to become a musician in tune with her natural talent.
