LESSON
Besides composing and performing, Matt also has a passion for teaching. He is currently accepting new students, especially adult learners and amateurs, and remedial intermediate to advanced teenage students. Matt’s teaching philosophy is to encourage his students to study a balanced variety of repertoire and to be well-rounded and knowledgeable musicians through playing, performing, composing, improvising, music appreciation, and theory and aural skills training. Matt is a Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) certified Artist-Educator in the Learning through the Arts programme.
Matt will construct the lessons so that it would be beneficial to all individuals. It would be anything from Bach or Bartok's first lessons to advanced improvisation, composing your first counterpoint exercise to writing a pop song with your computer.

As a graduate of both the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) and the Associate Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) system, Matt has experience teaching within both curricula.
