“PIano lessons with Matt from Brighter Minds music have been a very positive experience. He is skilled at getting to know my child’s personality. With that knowledge he has taught my son composing which brings joy to his music, as well as helping him stretch beyond his comfort zone to learn new techniques and styles of music. We are so grateful for him!
”
William has done a fantastic job in lessons lately with working on some challenging music as well as composing and trying to write out his own composition. William is a joy to work with and I think would be a great nomination for the student spotlight!
