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!
