About
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.

I absolutely love learning from Matt!! Ive been learning guitar from him for about six months, and even though our lessons are virtual, they always feel engaging and fun. He has an admirable understanding of music/instruments and his passion for them is infectious. He's very patient and always encouraging, especially when Im struggling to grasp a new concept. He takes the time to explain things in different ways until we find something that suits my learning style. Matt gives thoughtful practice tips and assignments, and he always tailors our lessons to what I want to learn. Hes very responsive, communicates clearly, and his website and learning tools are easy to access and understand! I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a teacher!

Musikkii has been such a huge part of my journey exploring music and guitar-playing. I started taking lessons as somewhat of a beginner and was given a free trial where I knew really quickly that I would be taking lessons. Matt is the best - he's attentive, extremely organized with scheduling, fast-responder, patient, and just overall very personable. I take weekly lessons and all of my notes are easy to access afterwards. He's not just teaching people to play but to be prepared and confident performers. I've noticed a TON of progress since working with him!
