Professional Pianist and published composer, who specializes in Classical, Jazz and Contemporary Music Teaching, Performing, Theory, and Composition. A passionate teacher with techniques for success

Matthew is a natural teacher, he is kind, patient and caring. He has a vast understanding of music as a form of expression, with an encyclopaedic knowledge of music theory from harmony to orchestration and a lot more. The piano is his instrument and his passion.
As a teacher, his classes are interesting, covering all forms of music from contemporary pop, light classical modern & historical classical compositions to jazz and almost all points in between. Anyone wishing to develop a better understanding of all forms of music, will find the best possible teacher in Matthew.

Matthew assisted me in preparing for auditions to drama schools abroad. He tutored me, not only musically, by tutoring me in singing accompanied by piano (which I had no experience in), but also dramatically with monologuing and Shakespeare as he has a notable background in English. I was able to receive call backs and firm offers for positions at some of the top schools in the world as a direct result of his careful attention to detail and consistent encouragement - altering his teaching methods to suit my learning style as we went.
Matthew is a well rounded teacher with expertise in multiple disciplines that only further inform and enhance his musical tutoring and I highly recommend him to anyone, novice, or for those looking to extend their skills. Matthew is patient, kind, and brings a unique air to the pianist's seat, and indeed, any teaching position he takes.

Matthew is an exceptional teacher who has inspired me to practise and make daily strides in my piano development and musical journey.

I highly recommend him for all aspects of music.

Matthew is well respected for his multiple years of experience, meticulous attention to detail, and personal investment in his students. He combines these to create a uniquely holistic pedagogical approach that allows his students to achieve their personal and professional goals, in a safe and fun way.
