Matts approach is to teach and encourage the love of music. He accomplishes this through a balance of technique, sight reading, music theory, ear training, and improvisation. He wants his students to fully understand the intricacies and nuances of both their instrument, and the piece they are playing. Matt encourages his students to explore and appreciate all genres of music. When Matt is not teaching he enjoys spending time in his recording studio, and has produced recordings for his students as well as some local artists.
