I found the course to be a game changer for me. It's super valuable.

So many of the values have that "Why didn't I think of that?" quality, since it's so intuitive but rarely implemented or talked about.

Broadway Music Director & Conductor

Anessa

I saw my technique and confidence grow quickly as we worked together.

I started studying with Matt when I landed my current job with Cabaret on Broadway. After years of battling imposter syndrome and a lack of confidence in my conducting, I knew I needed to go back to fundamentals with a good teacher and I’m so happy I took the leap to work with Matt.
His encouraging approach led with grace and humanity was exactly what I needed to start to quiet that inner voice.

Through our time together, I’ve been able to set aside feelings of anxiety and replace them with joy and excitement every time I step onto the podium. If you’re thinking of taking the leap with Matt, you won’t be disappointed!

Music Director & Conductor

Beth

It's been such a transformative experience from top to bottom.

My skills as a conductor have obviously improved but more than that, my confidence as a musician and honestly as a person has improved a great deal. I become a lot more in command of myself as musician after our work together.
