FREE 30-MINUTE TRIAL LESSON About Matt Shill Music Hi, I’m Matt — a professional musician and instructor with over 15 years of experience helping students and artists of all ages reach their musical goals. I hold a dual degree in Piano & Guitar Performance from the Frost School of Music and began my training at the Eastman School of Music. I’ve taught students from ages 4 to 94, and many have gone on to study at elite programs like Juilliard, Berklee, Manhattan School of Music, and Full Sail University. As a multi-instrumentalist (piano, guitar, bass, drums, and vocals), I offer: - Private Online Music Lessons - Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass, Drums, and Vocals - Recording & Mixing for student project or student auditions For lessons, I use My Music Staff to provide: - Organized lesson notes and history - Easy online lesson joining with one click - Automatic reminders - Seamless scheduling and communication I’m well-versed in the ABRSM certification pathway, and can guide students through formal testing, competitions, and high-stakes audition prep — including recording pre-screens and building repertoire portfolios for top conservatories. My own debut album has reached over 1 million streams, and I’ve worked on everything from intimate recordings to full-scale orchestral productions. My goal is always to meet you where you are — and help you grow into the musician you’re meant to be. 🎯 Never Miss a Lesson Guarantee We know life happens and you should never lose progress because of a scheduling conflict. That’s why every student is backed by our Never Miss a Lesson Guarantee: a personalized video review to keep you on track, even when you can’t attend live. How it works: - 24+ hour notice (student cancellation): Choose a reschedule or a custom NVM video. - Less than 24-hour notice: No reschedule, but you’ll receive a NVM video. - No-show (no notice): No reschedule and no video. - Teacher cancellation: Choose a reschedule or a NVM video.

I hired Matt over a year ago and he still teaches my kid piano. Her improvement is remarkable and she loves to keep learning piano. It is a testament to how good a teacher Matt is.

He helped me learn so much! He was so nice and we were able to work very well together. he helped make me feel comfortable in singing. he’s one of the few people i felt safe singing around. he’s a very hard worker and does amazing at his job! he taught me a lot that i didn’t know about singing that has already helped me become a better singer.

Matt has been the best music teacher Ive ever had! Im 24 years old and I have been playing guitar for almost a year. Ive been taking lessons from Matt for almost 4 months and my progress has exploded ever since I started. I have now started playing bass and keyboard. The guy is a music wizard and can teach basically every instrument. he is also really good at meeting you were your at. He has a great calm and easy going vibe. What I like the most though is that Matt has the utmost concern to make sure youre improving or at least putting you on the right track to pursue your musical goals. Extremely flexible and generous with time. If your looking for someone to teach you anything musically inclined I would recommend Matt!

Musikkii has been such a huge part of my journey exploring music and guitar-playing. I started taking lessons as somewhat of a beginner and was given a free trial where I knew really quickly that I would be taking lessons. Matt is the best - he's attentive, extremely organized with scheduling, fast-responder, patient, and just overall very personable. I take weekly lessons and all of my notes are easy to access afterwards. He's not just teaching people to play but to be prepared and confident performers. I've noticed a TON of progress since working with him!
