Every teacher holds an accredited music degree, professional certification, or demonstrated professional teaching/performance experience. We verify every credential directly — not just their word.
All teachers pass a comprehensive Checkr background check — national criminal records, sex offender registry, and federal records — before teaching a single lesson.
Every teacher completes an accredited child safeguarding course before working with students under 18. This is non-negotiable and verified by our team.
All teachers carry minimum $1M general liability and professional liability insurance. We check their Certificate of Insurance before activation.
Every teacher provides two verified professional references — a former professor, director, or colleague — contacted by our team as part of vetting.
We monitor student retention and satisfaction on an ongoing basis. Teachers with consistently high satisfaction earn Trusted and Elite status on their profile.
Maestro Match was founded on a belief that every child and adult in America deserves access to a truly exceptional, thoroughly vetted music educator — on their own terms, in their preferred format, wherever they live.
When Microsoft shut down TakeLessons in November 2024 with 90 days' notice, thousands of families were left without a trusted platform. We built Maestro Match to fill that gap — properly, with standards no competitor comes close to matching.
