The Escondido Music and Art Company (EMAAC) was formed, through the partnership of Mathew Rakers and Kevin Capacia, as a sister studio to the San Diego Music and Art Company (SDMAAC). SDMAAC was established by Mathew Rakers in 2014 and joined by Kevin Capacia in 2017 after he graduated from CSU Long Beach.

Kevin, a talented pianist, percussionist, and composer, quickly became one of the top instructors at SDMAAC, and together with Mathew Rakers, they decided to open EMAAC at the start of 2022.

Kevin has successfully trained a number of students to accomplish the higher levels of Certificate of Merit, while Mathew has successfully trained a number of students to accomplish the higher levels of Piano Guild. They are producing some of the top young pianists in the region.

Along with music teaching services EMAAC also provides instruction in art and its various mediums.

EMAAC not only provides services to the Escondido community at large, but are also vendors for the Pacific Coast Academy (PCA) and the San Diego Regional Center (SDRC)
