Teachers · Four instructors

Four people who chose to teach kids, and mean it.

Trained musicians, but more importantly: trained at being patient with seven-year-olds. We’ll match your child by age, instrument, and personality.

Maya Castillo

Founder · Piano · Voice

Studied classical piano at the University of Miami, performed for three years, then realized she liked the post-concert lobby conversations more than the concerts. A particular gift for anxious beginners and kids who’ve had bad music experiences before.

The week a kid stops needing to be reminded to practice.

Portrait of Jonas Castillo

Jonas Castillo

Founder · Guitar

Grew up playing in bands around South Florida. Holds a degree in music education from FIU. Probably the most patient person you will ever meet in a practice room. His students tend to love rock but leave knowing a lot more theory than they expected.

B.A. Music Education, FIU · 14 years teaching

Teaching the chord behind a song a kid already loves.

Piano · Jazz

Came to Treehouse in 2019 after finishing a jazz performance degree at Berklee. Specializes in older students who want to move beyond classical repertoire and start improvising. Has a soft spot for convincing kids they’re allowed to like jazz.
