Matt is probably the best teacher I’ve ever had. He is extremely patient and has a vast knowledge of pretty much every kind of music. Matt taught me everything I know.

Matt Johnston is possibly the best piano teacher ever. He's taught my daughter for 5+ years and he's been nothing but energetic, positive and encouraging. He makes even the most mundane skills fun to learn! He's given my daughter a true love for piano and has guided her as she's developed her skill to play by ear. What teacher can do that?? I'd recommend him to absolutely anyone and everyone! He's phenomenal!

Taking lessons from Matt has been one of my most enjoyable learning experiences ever! He does an incredible job of adapting the way he teaches to fit each individual student.  No matter what style of music we’re exploring, from Bach to Radiohead, he’s able to frame it in a way that I understand.

One if things I appreciate about Matt is he meets the students where they’re at and works with their talents rather than putting them into a musical box so they can learn to play how they want, and learn in a way that’s most beneficial for the students.
Tom (Parent of student since 2018)
Matt Johnston is the best piano teacher in the world. He’s so good at teaching me in a way that’s fun and productive. He’s super knowledgeable about everything music! Every question I’ve asked, he has answered. I look forward to every lesson. He makes me laugh every time I step into the studio and helps me be the best pianist I can be. I would not be the pianist I am today if I didn’t have him as my teacher.

Matt has been far more than a piano teacher for both of my children for over a decade Not only has he skillfully nurtured their gifts in piano, theory, and composition, but he has become one of the most significant and trusted adults in their lives. Both of my children have become accomplished, well-rounded musicians, but even more importantly, Matt's relationship with them has brought them great joy and inner confidence as people. Alongside his exuberance and delightful humor, Matt offers gentle wisdom and profound care for his students. He is one of those rare teachers who is the full package--a gifted educator, a generous mentor, and a joyful friend. I am deeply grateful for his impact on all of our lives.

Matt is a creative, fun, and dedicated teacher that I've enjoyed working with for the last 6 years. He's made learning fun in a way that few other teachers have, and has made leasons something to look forward to every week. I would highly recommend him to any student, no matter their age and skill level!

Matt has been teaching our children piano since they were 6 year old.
His ability to connect with the interests of our children has helped through their different phases, and his ability to determine what is the best way to keep their interest in practising and continue to improve their skills.
We have two children and Matt has found a way to interact very differently with them, personalizing the classes to meet their own preferences.
Through the years and a recent Pandemic, Matt has been delightful and easy to work with.
Before finding him, our children had three other piano teachers and none of them inspired our children as much as Matt, If you are thinking of investing in a great music teacher, Matt is the right choice.

Matt helped me find my passion for piano, composing, and music in general. He is always willing to explore where my interests and curiosity lead, and his expertise in everything from Purcell to pop makes that possible. Matt's jovial, low-pressure, student-led lessons are the highlight of my week, and they make learning (and even practicing) fun and engaging. He is truly a fantastic teacher, an astounding musician, and a good friend.
