Matthew is such a great piano teacher in College Park! He keeps lessons structured but still fun, and I went from knowing nothing to actually feeling confident at the piano. Honestly, learning with him has been a blast.

Matthew encouraged me to accept errors as a necessary part of the process. His enjoyable improvisational exercises served as a reminder to me that music is a journey, and I am now comfortable and fearless when I experiment on my grand piano.
