Whitney L.

6 and 10 years old | Piano, Drums, Guitar

We love Matt & Daniel! We've been taking lessons with them for almost 4 years : We started with piano, now evolved into drums, guitar & bass as well! They make music so fun! It's even helped them with their strings lessons at school that they don't love . These guys are so awesome and great mentors to our kids. Can't recommend them enough!

James

8 years old | Piano, Guitar

This is hands down one rhe best music teaching experiences I could imagine for our three boys. Matt is a gifted musician, and can teach a wide variety of instruments. We don't just welcome them into our home, we trust them to always be fantastic. If there were more stars I would give them. Highly highly recommend.

Tommy E.

6 and 9 years old | Drums, Guitar

The BEST!!! My kids look forward to every lesson. They know how to make music fun, the way it should be as opposed to a chore. I absolutely love listening to the incredible music that my kids are playing. I'd give them 6 stars!!

Angela A.

9 and 14 years old | Guitar, Ukulele

Daniel has been a great help for me when it comes to playing musical instruments. I have been singing my whole life and he has encouraged me to branch out with my music abilities. I appreciate his dedication to teach me both ukulele and guitar. His methods are very effective and I picked both instruments up sooner than I expected!

Laura B.

Daniel at Interval Music is an excellent guitar teacher. After just a few months, my 10 year old son is already playing songs that excite him. Daniel keeps the lessons relevant all while teaching my student good technique and music theory. My son LOVES his guitar lessons and looks forward to them all week! I'm thankful we found Daniel!

Jessica R

8 and 13 years old | Guitar, Piano

Daniel is a great piano and guitar teacher! He is punctual and not a clock watcher. (My kids have had music teachers that seem more interested in the time then teaching the kids sometimes). He is patient and his love for music is contagious. My kids love him and are learning so much! I highly recommend him as a teacher!

So happy to have found this place for music lessons! My boys have been taking ukelele and keyboard lessons from Daniel for the past few months. He's an amazing teacher and is very patient with my 7 and 9 year old. I love that he teaches in a non-traditional way that has captivated my children and motivated them to want to play and practice.

Breana D.

9 years old | Piano

Daniel at interval music has been my son's piano teacher for almost a year. His lessons are hands on and engaging. He's great at keeping kids on task- even for kids who are easily distracted (like my son). My 9 year old looks forward to his lessons. Daniel is both professional and able to develop a great relationship with his students. I would recommend him to anyone.

I was searching for a piano teacher for a while and found the perfect person ! Daniel is an amazing talented teacher who plays several instruments and has a lot of patience: I wouldn't go to any other person. I thought it was impossible for me to learn but with his steps and guidance I'm making great progress. I highly recommend interval music for people of all ages!

Hannah Q.

Interval music is awesome! Daniel is one of the nicest music teachers you'll meet! He will tailor his teaching to how you learn best, and will provide a quality musical experience for you. Also, if you mention a robot head, be prepared to hear a pretty great story!

Tedi D.

9 years old | Ukulele, Piano

We have been getting lessons with Daniel for a few years now. My daughter has learned to read and write music, play piano and now the ukulele. He is an excellent teacher and I am always to surprised with how much she learns. Daniel is very patient and helps to understand and comprehend music which you can tell is his passion.

Jessica M.

Daniel is a great music teacher. My kids really enjoy the lessons. he is so patient kind and you can tell music is his passion. Everything is explained at just the right time. Kids have been learning ukelele guitar and piano. I love the ukelele the best. My daughter's learning Moana on it.
