Our Story

Danielle and Matthew met in college at Queens University of Charlotte. Matthew a sophomore and Danielle a freshman...they met in the music building and through a series of romantic and music filled events! When they finished college, grad school, internships, and a period of long-distance, it was clear to both of them that it was time to move back to Charlotte! Since moving back, Danielle has grown her business and Matthew has flourished in the mental health field. In 2014, owner and founder, Danielle Gumb began her mission to educate and inspire her community through music-making. Today we are happy to say that G-Clef Therapy and Lessons is now a living, breathing organization that is constantly looking for new and bigger ways to impact their community.

G-Clef Therapy and Lessons is a family owned business committed to bringing quality family-centered services to the Charlotte area and beyond.  Since beginning, Danielle's own family has grown, and her passion for educating and extending the therapeutic functions of music has taken new form! Danielle and her husband Matthew live in Charlotte, NC with their two boys (Liam and Declan).

"Building strong family values has to start at home. Our family makes-music together every day in some form or another! Teaching our boys through music has become one of my greatest joys...and I strongly believe that every family should have access to the magical elements of music"
-Danielle Gumb, MT-BC

Danielle enjoys connecting with individuals, facilities, and other families in the area to provide custom services that fit their needs and ultimately their lifestyle! G-Clef is here to help provide the music services your family needs.

He genuinely enjoys his lessons with Danielle! She is super talented, easy to communicate with, and wonderful with her students."
