I am a lifelong student of music since I was four years old. I have worked as a professional music educator for 26 years, teaching students from ages 5 to 80 of all ability levels, in the classroom an... d also private lessons. I earned a MM from George Mason University and BM from Cardinal Stritch University. I am a passionate performer, musician, and instructor and work to share my passion for the beauty and power of music with all my students, accomplishing this by incorporating theory, music history, performance practice, and improvisation during lessons. I have high expectations for myself as a musician and instructor, and have high expectations for my students with respect to the student's individual educational journey and needs.read more

Hello! I’m Matt. I live on the East Coast of the USA, with a passion for music, teaching, and life-long learning. I teach music theory, music history, performance practice, and more, with a special f... ocus on collaborative and solo piano lessons. My favorite part of teaching is watching the excitement of my students as they accomplish goals on which they’ve been working diligently to achieve. My other favorite part of teaching is what I learn from my students. We are all on a life-long journey of learning, and I strive to always remain teachable; there is something to be learned from everyone and everything. Outside of tutoring and music, I enjoy playing with my cat, video games, carpentry, traveling, and spending time on the beach. I look forward to working with you!read more
