Art Matthews is the best music teacher that I have ever encountered. In my life I have had about four music teachers and none of them was up to par when it came to teaching music. I was fortunate enough to take piano lessons with Mr. Matthews at the age of thirteen. Unfortunately I had to drop out of the lessons only after a few months. Six years later I was willing and able to go back to piano lessons and Mr. Matthews was the only teacher that I wanted to teach me how to play piano. I was so excited to find out that he hadn’t completely retired and that he was still teaching. The reason for that is because he takes the time to teach you in-depth details of music and also has tons of patience. Not only does he have patience but he is very flexible when it comes to working out a schedule so that I am allowed to have a busy life and still attend his music classes. He makes his classes very enjoyable and his teaching skills are very up to date with technology but at the same time keeps it old school. I am very blessed to have Mr. Matthews as a music teacher and I’m sure anyone else who has had him or is going to will feel the same way.
