Personal Approach to Learning Piano, Composition and Theory
From 50.91 £ /h
Hi! My name Matt. I’m a passionate teacher of music. I teach piano, composition, music theory, ear-training and rhythmic studies. I’ve been teaching for 15-years in various musical styles and I’m offering specifically-tailored lessons to students of all ages, background, experience level. I teach in both english and danish. I'm generous with my knowledge and time :)
Outside of formal education across Europe and Canada (Jazz masters in Performance, Post-Masters in Composition, Royal Conservatory of Music, grade 10) I’ve lived in places like South India (studying Carnatic classical music) and Bali (studying Gamelan music). Therefor my outlook and musical philosophy is very broad, international and holistic.
Look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
Matt

About Me
With a passion for music I've been performing and teaching music for over 12 years. Originally from Vancouver, I've lived, studied and performed in places like South India, New York, Copenhagen, Paris, Berlin, Montréal, and South Africa.
People often describe me as a good listener, conscientious, kind, focused, someone who is always looking to learn. My lessons are specifically tailored for the student in question. Although I have many teaching tools, I like to work with the student and their particular goals to create lesson/learning strategies. This makes me very flexible in terms of the specifics of what we work on together.
