What people are saying

  • Luis B.

    Luis’ sons Alexander + Andres take piano

    We are very lucky one of our son’s teacher recommended My Music Match to us when they were asking for piano lessons. Very professional service in finding the right instructor for us and we couldn’t be happier with Natalie. She is so patient with them and they have improved a lot in short time. They are always looking forward for the lessons and I can see them staying in lessons for a long time.

    My experience with My Music Match has been wonderful. Over the past 6 months, I've learned so much from my teacher, Max. He's been able to coach me through my own musical interests to gain confidence as a singer and guitarist. Max has a way of building my confidence while challenging me to continue growing musically. He's an accomplished musician and a supportive teacher who helps me push through my own obstacles. He not only teaches me how, but why, incorporating musical theory into my lessons in meaningful way that helps me improve as a musician.

  • Florence L.

    Flo’s daughter Ashli takes voice

    My Music Match identified the perfect vocal coach for my daughter. Sierra is knowledgeable, flexible, and easy to communicate with. Her vocal exercises and techniques have allowed my daughter's voice to improve tremendously. We definitely recommend My Music Match.
