Greater Austin Music Academy

"My daughter has been a proud GAMA student for well over a year now, and while we’re incredibly happy with her progress, we’re even more proud of how much she enjoys playing piano and her time with her caring teacher, Ms. Danielle. GAMA’s thoughtful and always cheerful manager, Wade, was incredibly thoughtful about the pairing these two fun-loving souls together. Keep up the great work!"

"My son has loved his clarinet lessons. When he started, he was the youngest student the teacher had ever had, and the teacher did a great job tailoring lessons to my son's age and total beginner status. My son has had two teachers at GAMA, and he has learned so much and gotten along well with both of them. GAMA also did a great job transitioning to the new teacher when the first one moved on. Communication from the office is always helpful and timely. Everyone I've dealt with has been great."

"I have been with GAMA since early 2017, taking lessons weekly. This school has it all—highly trained teachers, and a curriculum with opportunities to perform throughout the year via recitals, performance classes, and holiday programs (included with tuition)! As an adult learner returning to piano, I bounced from instructor to instructor for a few years never finding the right match. I met with Matt and at his suggestion started lessons with Eric. My growth has been exponential. Whether you are looking for a spot for yourself or your child, I strongly encourage you to check out the Greater Austin Music Academy!"

"I would not hesitate to recommend Matt to anyone looking for a dedicated, talented, and very inspiring teacher. My two daughters, who have been playing piano for 10 and 7 years, have been taking lessons with Matt for almost a year and both girls have made huge advances in their skill level. My oldest, specifically, often remarks how Matt makes the music come alive for her! He has been very patient and encouraging in correcting some of the poor technique that other teachers have allowed to continue for all these years. Even though Matt has high standards for practice time and attendance at lessons, he is very realistic and has been flexible with finding the best schedule that suits our family. We feel extremely blessed to have found Matt!"

"I feel so lucky that we found Matt not long after we moved to Austin in last year. We went to several recitals but were not satisfied with the 'feeling' about teachers, then I found Matt online. My daughter began to like Mr. Matt after first trial lesson, and so far we have been learning piano from him over a year now. He is so young compare to the other teachers we had in the past, so I was wondering if he could be patient to young kids. But over the time, his patience and always being encouraging are definitely impressive, my daughter's learning and practicing become more initiative. It is very important for kids doing what they really like, and I think Matt is a kind of teacher making kids enjoy what they are doing with excellent skill and dedicated attitude."
