Teaching

Matthew is an experienced teacher to students of all ages, from the very young to adult. He is happy to tailor lessons to individual needs, working towards exams, auditions, scholarships, etc., or just playing for fun and improvement. His students have a 100% exam success rate; some have also had success at scholarship auditions and music festivals, while others have improved their solo performances and orchestral playing. Teaching is an important part of Matthew’s work, and he enjoys working with all his students to help them reach their potential as musicians.

Matthew teaches cello and piano as a Visiting Music Teacher at two high-achieving schools in the South East, and also privately at his studio in Upminster, London Borough of Havering.
