Matt is a talented and versatile player and teacher. He has a deep knowledge of jazz theory and piano technique, and adapts his teaching and feedback to my musical interests. I wasn't sure how remote video lessons would work, but he has a professional zoom setup and a great ear, so it's really not a barrier. I'm already noticing improvement and having a lot of fun playing!

I’ve really enjoyed working with Tim. When I came to Tim I told him I had some piano experience but I was pretty raw in fundamentals. I really appreciate that Tim took the time to see where I was and meet me there. It’s kept the work challenging and given me a drive to continue to improve because of his personalized approach.
Tim is thoughtful and patient, so going to a lesson doesn’t feel like I’m going to the dentist. It feels more like we are working together toward something and for that reason any anxieties I might have about continuing my studies are allayed.
He also supplies a wealth of materials, from lead sheets, to PDFs that illuminate fundamentals of chord progressions, to play-along bass lines and recordings of him playing through exercises and songs we are working on. These things have been an incredible help, particularly because our lessons are virtual. I really appreciate the time Tim puts in to make sure his students have all the necessary tools to succeed.
I’d highly recommend Tim to anyone who wants to study jazz. Since many people are studying virtually these days, you can really have your pick of the litter, and I’d pick Tim every time.
