About Matt Burk Music Studio
Matt and Jessica Burk’s passion for music began at young ages, and they have studied it since childhood. They had very different musical experiences and backgrounds as children and young adults, and they have identified some real benefits in their different approaches. Both Matt and Jessica always knew music would be a big part of their lives – whether for personal enjoyment, teaching/encouraging others, serving in their church, etc.
Their passion for music and Matt’s entrepreneurial spirit prompted them to start what was previously Matt Burk Piano Studio in their home. Matt’s schedule quickly filled up, and as he saw students growing, encouraged and enthusiastic about music, he knew that he wanted to bring this excitement about music and this positive, fun experience to more students. In addition to piano, he wanted to include other popular instruments, and to be able to offer private lessons for guitar, drums, bass, voice, songwriting, and audio production.
This led Matt and Jessica to rent a commercial space in East Allen and to add three additional instructors to teach guitar, bass, and drums. Within a year at their new space, the studio was bursting at the seams – they had brought in a second piano instructor and were still juggling lessons and studio space to fit in all the appointments. After exactly one year in that location, they moved into a new, bigger suite in the same complex, doubling their square footage. They hired a voice instructor and a third piano instructor (for a total of seven instructors). In July of 2011, they completed their studio with another instructor – for songwriting, audio production and voice instructor. With this new addition, the studio is also able to fill a niche and offer full-service artist development, including full-service production and recording services in a warm, supportive environment!
Matt Burk Music Studio currently has more than 250 students in the studio for private lessons every week, and that number continues to grow. Matt and Jessica look forward to bringing the opportunity to learn an instrument to even more people!
Matt and Jessica’s desire was to create a music studio that is a fun, comfortable place for students (and parents!), with a lot of positive reinforcement and great opportunities for students to learn and perform. Matt and Jessica realize that students take lessons for many different reasons – some students plan to be concert or professional musicians, others want a creative outlet or personal enrichment, some want to build positive self-esteem or play in a band.
Because they know that students study music for any variety of reasons, the goal of all of the instructors at Matt Burk Music Studio is to meet each student where they are and help them with their specific musical goals, while incorporating their unique musical interests, in an affirmative, encouraging atmosphere.
Matt and Jessica have found such fulfillment in bringing quality music instruction in a fun, supportive environment for students in the Allen, Fairview, McKinney, Plano, and North Dallas area. They would love to have you as a part of their growing studio!
