    About Matthew J.

    (1)
    Hi, there! My name is Matthew and I look forward to meeting you! Allow me to introduce myself. I started teaching music in 2012 while I was getting my undergraduate degree in Music Education from Minot State University. I took a break from teaching while I was getting my master's degree in Trombone Performance from Bowling Green Statue University. During that time, I decided that I needed more performing experience. In response, I moved to New York City to perform professionally after graduating. I have played in a wide variety of settings including symphonies, pit orchestras, jazz bands, busking bands, wedding/commercial groups, recording/session work, and more. I am eager to share my experience and lead you in reaching each of your music goals!
