Matt is one of the most talented and creative musicians I have ever met or worked with. He works with students individually and suits the lessons to their musical tastes - very effective. He had my son playing Coldplay very quickly. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn piano.

Matt is an excellent musician and piano player. I felt totally comfortable leaving our son's piano instruction in his capable hands. Matt helped our son learn what he wanted as well as teaching our son what he *needed* to know to lay a good musical foundation for life. Today, our son is an accomplished pianist, knows music theory, and is also a composer. Matt's is the only formal training he had, and obviously Matt was able to teach our son much in the years he had him as a piano student.
