Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I like to hear what you're interested in and generally want to work towards. However, I do know that sax, clarinet, or flute, as well as music theory can be daunting, and that you might have no clue what to work on/how to practice and get better For the people with a clear idea of what they want, I'm more than happy to tailor the material to your interests (coupled with my own material, practice advice). For the people who have no idea, all good, because I have plenty of material and practice regimen help to get your general musicianship at a high level, so you can play and learn anything you want. I tend to focus more on the jazz and classical route, as knowing these styles only opens you to whatever you want to play.

Very happy that we were able to hire Matt for my sister’s birthday, his music definitely made the ambiance more intimate and elegant! His song choices are great, and he was very professional, he has the kenny G vibe which I was looking for, he arrived at the perfect time (15 mins before the actual start time) and very courteous and polite to everyone! He also responds super quick! I would hire him again for sure in the future!

Details: Birthday party • 25 guests or fewer • 31 - 50 years old • Band • Other strings • No preference • Jazz / Blues • Other

Matt’s passion for music, combined with his friendly and fun approach makes his a superb teacher. He has high standards but is always positive and encouraging. I would highly recommend Matt as a sax teacher.

Matt is a fantastic teacher!! While the ins and outs of the saxophone is certainly the main focus, he approaches the horn (and music in general) in a very organic, musically centered way. Whether it be working on scales or playing Bach Cello Suites on the sax, everything is about making music and producing a beautiful sound on the saxophone. Matt is obviously invested in his students progressing. I can reach out to him whenever and know that I'll get useful life/music info. Thanks Matt!!!!!
