I took lessons with Mateo Rueda-Calvo this summer and really enjoyed my experience! Very attentive to my particular needs and goals, pushed me when I needed it and celebrated my progress. Flexible with scheduling. Recommend!

Eli Demick

I have had the pleasure of working with Mateo as my vocal teacher, and I cannot express how grateful I am for his expertise and guidance. Mateo is not only incredibly knowledgeable about vocal techniques, but he is also a fantastic coach who has a genuine passion for helping his students succeed. His ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and accessible manner has been instrumental in my progress. Mateo’s keen attention to detail and commitment to bringing out the best in his students make him a standout vocal instructor. I highly recommend Mateo to anyone seeking a skilled and supportive teacher for their vocal journey.

I absolutely love Mateo at Muse Haus! While I always recommend him for voice & piano, I recently took the Songwriting 101 course offered at Muse Haus and had an incredible experience!

Even though I’m not new to songwriting, I walked away with fresh techniques, valuable insights, and a renewed sense of creativity.

The class environment was extremely inspiring and the collaborative energy and support from my classmates definitely made it even more impactful. I’m especially grateful for the welcoming space Mateo creates for everyone to share, grow, and truly feel part of a creative community.

I’m already looking forward to enrolling in the next course and continuing my journey with Muse Haus. Highly recommend for songwriters at any level!

Nyimul Hoque

Great music school – I’ve worked with Mateo here and he gave me singing lessons and songwriting lessons, both of which have been well worth the price. I’ve been able to learn a lot – voice techniques and writing lyrics and chord progressions. Would recommend for any music needs!
