Merchant + Maker Monday: The Mattock School of Music 🎶 A family-owned music school with a beautiful new state-of-the-art facility. [Read full story: http://bit.ly/3OMTVEV]
Parents who despair of their kids hating and quitting piano lessons, take note—Dave Mattock, professional musician, music teacher, and owner and founder of the Mattock School of Music (MSOM), was one of those kids. It wasn’t until he found himself in the jazz program at Temple University that he connected with his passion for music and learned to play. The child who struggled with scales ended up forming his own group, the Tap Room Trio, and teaching music at the University of Pennsylvania for ten years.
Dave remembers those challenges all too well, and his experiences inform his holistic and balanced approach to teaching his students. He sympathizes with the difficulties of learning an instrument and relates, in a practical way, the techniques he learned to overcome them himself.
In the newly renovated Mattock School of Music (MSOM), Dave and his teaching staff have the perfect facility for fostering the growth of the next generations of musicians. With the doors officially open and pandemic restrictions finally lifted, Dave and his wife Laura are at the end of one long journey and excited to see their dream coming to life.
In music, as in life, timing is everything.
Read the full story [http://bit.ly/3OMTVEV], including more on…
➡️ MSOM’s technically impressive facility in a historic Chester Co building: “It’s like using a 4K camera to capture an 1800s look.”
➡️ Class + Summer Camp options!
➡️ MSOM love and involvement in the community.
