FREE 30-MINUTE TRIAL LESSON About Matt Shill Music Hi, I’m Matt — a professional musician and instructor with over 15 years of experience helping students and artists of all ages reach their musical goals. I hold a dual degree in Piano & Guitar Performance from the Frost School of Music and began my training at the Eastman School of Music. I’ve taught students from ages 4 to 94, and many have gone on to study at elite programs like Juilliard, Berklee, Manhattan School of Music, and Full Sail University. As a multi-instrumentalist (piano, guitar, bass, drums, and vocals), I offer: - Private Online Music Lessons - Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass, Drums, and Vocals - Recording & Mixing for student project or student auditions For lessons, I use My Music Staff to provide: - Organized lesson notes and history - Easy online lesson joining with one click - Automatic reminders - Seamless scheduling and communication I’m well-versed in the ABRSM certification pathway, and can guide students through formal testing, competitions, and high-stakes audition prep — including recording pre-screens and building repertoire portfolios for top conservatories. My own debut album has reached over 1 million streams, and I’ve worked on everything from intimate recordings to full-scale orchestral productions. My goal is always to meet you where you are — and help you grow into the musician you’re meant to be. 🎯 Never Miss a Lesson Guarantee We know life happens — and you should never lose progress because of a scheduling conflict. That’s why every student is backed by our Never Miss a Lesson Guarantee: a personalized video review to keep you on track, even when you can’t attend live. How it works: - 24+ hour notice (student cancellation): Choose a reschedule or a custom NVM video. - Less than 24-hour notice: No reschedule, but you’ll receive a NVM video. - No-show (no notice): No reschedule and no video. - Teacher cancellation: Choose a reschedule or a NVM video.

My son picked up a guitar and was in process of identifying his self and finding interest in guitar so I found Matt and gave lessons for my son a try and I can’t explain how much better and confident my son feels now but also how much he is learning about all music types he likes. My son definitely clicks with Matt. Matt not only helped my son but Matt was very upfront and organized with scheduling.

Matt is very professional & at the same time is able to keep the attention of a young mind while finding a way to relate & be on their level. He instantly found material that was aligned for my 9 year old student. Very encouraging & we are excited to see what my young piano enthusiast learns next. I definitely recommend this teacher. Matt is on top of it, & very responsive, if you have any questions he will walk you through the process.
