Hi there, I’m Matt, a professional pianist, content creator, educator, and producer. I’ve been passionate about music since my early years. I started with the viola at the age of 7 and later discovered my true passion for the piano.
During my early years, I gained valuable experience by joining the local music service’s Saturday Orchestra at the age of 7, where I learned the joy of performing and receiving recognition for my music. A few months later, I picked up the guitar as a way to explore music on my own and enjoy playing for fun.
At the age of 11, I began learning the piano, recognizing it as one of the most versatile instruments. Although I struggled with reading music at first, my strong ear for music helped me excel. I even achieved a perfect score in a listening test in my school music class and started playing guitar in the Jazz Band, which allowed me to improvise and learn more about chords.
One day, while playing “Moonlight Sonata Op. 27, No. 2 by Beethoven” on the piano by ear, I caught the attention of my school’s head of music. They proposed to teach me both viola and piano, which ignited my passion for understanding music theory and its impact.
By the age of 13, I was studying GCSE music with 16-year-olds and completed A Level Music Technology by 16. I achieved Grade 8 ABRSM in the piano, skipping grades 1-7. I started accompanying local choirs, founded my own choir, and began teaching piano at 15.
During my school years, I wrote arrangements for school bands, formed ensembles, including a saxophone quintet and a 7-part a cappella group, and composed and performed music for them.
