Testimonials
Austin was a great piano teacher for our busy, high energy, 7 year old son. He was patient and fun, which is what our son needed! We miss him and wish he was still here in Kansas. We would highly recommend Austin to everyone!

Austin is an innovative and insightful music therapist. My son Oskar is a talented guitarist with perfect pitch on the Spectrum who is a handful… Stubborn, fiercely opinionated, and fueled by ADHD. This combination is a challenge for most teachers. Austin was able to quickly connect with Oskar and provide him with top notch guitar lessons as well as help him grow emotionally through music therapy. Our time with Austin fostered Oskar’s musical and intellectual growth. Austin provided him with a foundation that will last a lifetime.
Mom of Oskar
Austin makes very good songs. His stuff sounds great, and he’s a really nice guy in general.
Russell, Age 10
We have worked with many therapists over the years. Austin has been one of my son’s favorites! They made a connection quickly and have been able to work on my son’s therapeutic goals in self-regulation, self-calming skills. But they have also bonded over music, building on his understanding of rhythm, pitch, and piano skills to write songs together about feelings, hopes, and dreams. Austin has a special gift!

Working with Austin could not have been smoother or more pleasant. From day one, his communication was clear and his talent was evident. Most importantly, Austin is kind, thoughtful, and my kids looked forward to seeing him and spending time with him.
Nathan, father of Savannah (9) and Charlie (7)
Austin is extremely talented and able to connect easily with those he is working with. In the NICU setting, Austin was able to engage patients and families in play and song writing. He has a way to make families feel comfortable in order to promote a positive and healing experience. I am grateful to have worked alongside him.

An incredibly accomplished musician, Austin uses his musicality to therapeutically engage, educate, and encourage his clients and to meet them right where they are. As a therapist, Austin’s genuine warmth, acceptance, and commitment to his own personal growth allow him to deliver the most effective and successful care.
