Instruments: Piano Violin
My teaching experience started in high school when my private teacher started teaching me how to teach. I then accepted students on a continual basis, usually working two jobs. I realized at a later point in my life that I would like to make teaching my profession and started getting more serious about how I would proceed with teaching music. I have had students for over 25 years and without a doubt, parental involvement and practice are the two main factors for success of young students, along with a good teacher. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet Saxophone Drums Mallet Percussion
Teaching the most basic concepts in how to build a chord or a scale by using formulas is my favorite way to approach the lesson. An individual's understanding of music is always changing therefore I feel it is better to change with them. Using methods which are proven is important, but the idea of improvisation during a lesson always keeps the interest for me and the student. Of course this depends completely on the age and the experience of a student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Trombone Saxophone Clarinet
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music. Therefore, it is important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student's desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what truly inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and the needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Flute Keyboard
While studying music in college, I always enjoyed helping my classmates with their particular questions regarding accessing their voice, improving their range, playing piano, or how to start learning to play the flute. While still in school, I shadowed and assisted my piano professor with teaching piano and rock band at a public school. I began teaching privately about three years ago. I believe that flexibility and creativity is key when working with students. Read More

He performed at the Jazz Fest, Francopholies, Parc des Iles. He was also a singer, dancer, and percussionist for Beat (La fiesta mondiale de percussion) which toured in casinos and venues across North America. He has also recorded and performed drums with many well-known artists in Canada. Among others, Matt was a member of the popular Montreal band Redcore (drums, composer, and vocals) and played drums with the up-and-coming Los Angeles-based bands U.G.L.Y (Chris Brown Entertainment), Standing Shadows, Erick Morillo, and CB7 (drums and back vocals) who just came back from opening for 30 Seconds To Mars on their US tour.

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
My practice sessions usually last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on my schedule and goals that day. I like to start with a warm-up — whether that’s vocal exercises like breathing and scales, or finger exercises on piano — to prepare my body and mind for focused work.
Next, I’ll focus on technical skills, such as refining tricky passages, working on pitch control, or improving rhythm and timing. This part is all about precision and building solid foundations.
Then I like to spend time on musicality and expression — maybe working through a song, experimenting with phrasing, dynamics, or storytelling. For songwriting, this might mean brainstorming lyrics or melodies, or arranging a track.
Finally, I always leave time to play or sing something fun — whether it’s an old favorite or something new I’m excited about. This keeps practice enjoyable and reminds me why I love music.
Of course, every practice is a little different depending on what I need at the moment, but balancing technique, creativity, and enjoyment is key for me. I encourage my students to find their own rhythm and routine that feels inspiring and doable.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I try to steer away from old fashion teaching methods and books, as they can feel a bit "mechanical" and not very inspirational. But from time to time I use Alfreds for piano and recommend advanced singers or special-interest-singers to read "The Contemporary Singer, Elements of Vocal Technique" and songwriters to read "writing better lyrics" by Pat Pattinson.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I currently have students that got into LIPA, several students that are in "gifted" programs in high school and older students that work as full time musical theatre performers in Norway ! We spent a lot of time audition prepping, which is truly one of my favorite ways to teach.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
For me, as a vocalist, one of the hardest things to master is finding complete control while still keeping your voice feeling natural and expressive. It’s a delicate balance between technique and emotion — too much focus on technique can make singing feel mechanical, but too much emotion without control can strain your voice or cause inconsistency.
Developing breath support, pitch accuracy, and dynamic control takes time and patience, and every voice is unique, so what works for one person might not work for another. That’s why I emphasize healthy technique combined with encouraging students to find their own authentic sound.
In piano and songwriting, mastering the ability to translate emotion into music that connects with others is a challenge I deeply respect. Technical skills can be learned, but making music that truly moves people requires heart, vulnerability, and practice.
Ultimately, mastering any instrument is a journey — one that requires persistence, curiosity, and a willingness to grow.
