Introduction: Hey! My name is Matt and I'm a Music Teacher and Producer living in East Nashville. I have over 18 years of teaching experience and can help you get a lot of enjoyment out of your playing or producing. I'm a patient teacher and I make my lessons fun and engaging. I teach all styles of music including Pop, Rock, Country & Jazz as well as songwriting, recording, mixing and audio production lessons. I also make it a point to keep the lessons interesting, and introduce songs that compliment the music theory that we're learning at that particular time. I teach all about the underlying theory and logic of music to help you learn how to become fluent on your instrument or DAW. In addition, I've earned Best of Thumbtack Music Lessons for the last 3 years! Please check out my website and give me a shout to schedule a preliminary lesson! Thanks and hope to hear from ya soon, Matt Kass I love seeing that lightbulb go off in peoples heads, when it finally clicks and they understand the concept that I'm teaching them. It's also great to see the progression over time of students, advancing in their knowledge of the instrument.

Matt is an incredible teacher!! He tailors the lessons to my learning style and interests, making the material easier for me to retain. I have learned so much about music theory and have had significant improvement in my piano playing since I have begun lessons with Matt. I enjoy each lesson immensely and am thankful for the time Matt has put into my development. If you are looking for a piano teacher that will teach you quickly in a judgement-free and welcoming environment, you've found it!

Matt is a fastastic piano teacher! He is extremely talented and knowledgable in all areas of music theory and performance. He has been extremely professional and communicates well. I feel that after only a few months of taking lessons I have a better understanding of chord progressions, voicings, rhythm, composing and song structure. He makes me feel comfortable and runs lessons at a pace that make sense for me. I would recommend him to anyone!

As a professional musician with a background in ethnomusicology, Matt offers a high-degree of music theory knowledge and wisdom which he imparts at each lesson. I initially sought out Matt's expertise because, as a past musician who used to play woodwind instruments at the youth competition level, I was missing the musical component of my adult, post-college life. My lessons in Matt have not only been informative, but they have revitalized my love of music. His flexibility has worked out well for my busy schedule, and I definitely have been able to fulfill a lifelong dream of playing the piano. I highly recommend Matt's services for anyone of all levels.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Lessons are 60 minutes long and are charged by the hour. Students must pay for the entire month of lessons upfront. There is a 24 hour cancellation policy for anything other than sudden illness. If the cancellation policy is not met, the student is charged for the lesson.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our first lesson is centered around finding out what the student already knows, and where the holes are in their musical knowledge so I can determine what to focus on. We also speak about the student's goals, and then figure out the best way to proceed.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been teaching music lessons for 14+ years, have been a professional musician for 15 years, a record producer/engineer/mixer for 10 years... I also have an Ethnomusicology/Psychology degree from Cornell University
