About Mat

I teach classically with a spin to help learn harmonies and scales quickly. Develop a relationship with the instrument first. Be able to read sheet music and write your own tunes in just a few lessons. I am a performing musician with a ton of credentials including albums, radio plays, music videos and more. I can teach from the ground up.

I am willing and able to produce professional albums for students as well as music videos.

Inspiring people to build tools for coping with this wild world.

I am also a Registered Nurse. Teaching music feels similar to helping someone get over being sick.

I'm a registered nurse and musician. I inspired a friends kid to play piano and drums and it felt incredible--Just as good as healing the ill when I work in hospitals. So, I marketed to more friends, gained more students, and feel even more inspired than ever.

I started piano when I was 8.
I started drums at 14.

I am happy to teach song writing and recording.

I have been recording for 12 years and in pro-studios for 7 years.

I am in a band currently performing live shows, receiving spins and interviews on college radio stations nationwide, and loaded with press reviews.
I have professionally recorded 4 albums and willing to do the same for my students.

About the lesson

I like to get students comfortable on their instruments first. We build a relationship with the instrument before pulling out sheet music. I typically start by teaching scales and chords with classical finger positioning. We start with the easiest scales and build upon them. My goal is to make music a a fun tool for expressing oneself.

Once comfortable we can even produce your own album/music video.

Piano- Ages 8 to 35 years. Beginner and Intermediate level students.

Drums - Beginner and Intermediate level students.

Vocals/Lyrics- Beginner and Intermediate level students

Song Writing/Recording- Beginner and Intermediate level students

Have fun! It takes work but it's called "playing" music for a reason. There will be little frustrating puzzles to figure out but it will be fun and rewarding. Don't get stuck taking lessons from a boogar with a bad attitude. Its so important to love the privilage of making music. Don't hang out with a teacher you don't enjoy, respect, and draw inspiration from.

For the first lesson, I start at $30 for a full hour.

For children 10 years and younger I prefer start with the expectation of 30 minute lessons for $20. If they are still having fun and paying attention after the 30 minutes, I will extend to a full hour ($30). It is important for young students to not be turned away from music in reaction to too strict of lessons.

NOTE: one of my strongest students is a 9 year old and has done hour lessons from day one.

After trialing 4 lessons at this rate I increase to $40 for the full hour and $30 for the half.
