Introduction
ONLINE/REMOTE LESSONS Or Utah Locals only! —————————————————————— HI! I'm Matt. I'm an award-winning, conservatory-trained pianist, composer, producer, and educator out of Los Angeles 🎶 Though I am a music professor at Occidental College 🤓, I enjoy teaching all ages and levels -- from aspiring beginners and music undergrads to consummate professionals and performing artists alike. I develop custom-tailored lesson plans based on the students' unique goals & prior experience -- this includes popular genres such as classical, jazz, pop, and R&B. I can help you learn improvisation, sight-reading, music production, ear training, and audio engineering. Lessons are always simple, rewarding, and most importantly, fun! This is especially important if you're looking to play music instead of trudge through method-books! 🤗 For online Zoom lessons, multiple camera angles accurately resemble the hands-on experience of an in-person lesson (see pics below). *I offer a free 20 min consultation to ensure your satisfaction with the applicable technology 👨‍💻 As a performer, I've worked and toured with some of the best -- the stars of "American Idol", "Glee", and "The Voice,” REO Speedwagon, and Engelbert Humperdinck. A myriad of notable jazz all-stars including Kamasi Washington, Clare Fischer, Bill Watrous, Eric Marienthal, and Zane Musa 🎹 My compositions can be heard in a multitude of media platforms, from various tv commercials, feature films like Big Momma's House III, various movies on The Lifetime Network, and television shows such as “Bones", “Millionaire Matchmaker" and MTV's "10 on top" 🎧 Music has been the passion of my life since I was 4 years old. It is my honor and privilege to share it with you! Please message me with any questions and I look forward to meeting you!

I've worked with Matt now about five months. He is a great player in his own right and has been skilled in helping me identify my weaknesses and strengths . With my busy work schedule he is flexible in allowing me to set the pace and yet still challenges me to push myself to learn new things. I've really enjoyed working with him and look forward to many more lessons with the "LA Pro" Neal

Matt is very patient. He is encouraging and teaches by telling and showing you how to make corrections. I would recommend him to others wanting to take piano lessons. ---Judy Fitzgerald

Working with Matt has been a genuine pleasure. He's a brilliant musician and has greatly helped me to improve my skill as a jazz pianist. I had doubts about taking piano lessons virtually, but he absolutely knocks it out of the park with his setup. Our lessons have been fun, challenging, and laidback. I'm looking forward to continuing my lessons with Matt in the future.

Matt is a great teacher. He’s really good at getting my teenager out of his comfort zone and trying new things with the piano. Extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

I’m so glad I started taking piano lessons with Matt - I’m painfully shy about playing in front of anyone, but I’m already improving my confidence and Matt is kindly giving guidance on what to practice (and how to undo years of bad habits)!
