I tried teaching myself piano for months and just kept hitting walls.Then I found Mata ’s beginner classes at Tall Grass, and it was a game-changer. she breaks things down so they actually make sense no overwhelm, just steady progress. Plus, she makes it fun? Now I’m finally improving without burning out. Huge shoutout to her!

Mata brings a burst of novelty to my piano practice through engaging and dynamic programs. Utilizing my electric keyboard, we explore a diverse range of musical genres, transitioning seamlessly from jazz improvisations to contemporary pop tunes, ensuring each lesson is stimulating and enjoyable.
