Not really a great experience. The instructor just turned on youtube and made me do Karaoke. I couldn't even hear my voice because the youtube was louder than me. The next lesson I was hoping he had acoustic instruments of some sort to sing over as he promised, nope. Back to Youtube and turning it up loud while I sang which I couldn't hear my voice. I just wanted to work on the vocals but all we did was youtube. I quickly cancel and got out of dodge.

I have been practising piano with Matt for over 4 months now and I can vouch for the fact that he is an excellent teacher. It is difficult to find someone who is extremely skilled and also a great teacher, and you will find this combination with Matt. He is dedicated, makes learning fun and enjoyable for students by customising lessons based on their needs. He is also a great person and a good ambassador for music, and you will not go wrong by selecting Matt as a guide for your musical journey.
