Matt K

Instruments: Drums Latin Percussion Djembe

I’ve been teaching drums from 7 years. When I was in music school, I started teaching family members and friends the material I was taught because I was so excited about it. This eventually progressed to me using online classified ads and posting flyers around town in hope to get more students. Through this, I discovered how much I love sharing what I know with others. It's fulfilling to see students have those moments where things are clicking for them musically and to help them get there means a lot. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Drums Organ Harmonica Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion Music Keyboard Djembe

I am a passionate musician, and in my opinion you cannot make music without PASSION! We will find and explore your passion so you music can be unbridled and free of constraints. I believe in a balanced approach to musicianship, production, singing, etc. I will teach you the classic way, how to read notes and things of that nature; but I will also teach improv and pre-thinking so you can make your own unique sound.

I began my musical training at age 8, began playing professionally as a teenager, and have been teaching for 15 years. I graduated from Northern Kentucky University in 2011 with a Bachelors of Music Education, with a minor in Percussion Performance. I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to perform several nights a week around Austin, and to have toured the US multiple times during the past two years. In addition to teaching and performing, I have also written many works for concert band, percussion soloist, chamber groups, jazz ensemble, and percussion ensemble. Read More

Instruments: Drums Bass Guitar Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Keyboard

I have a philosophy that playing music is a genuine demonstration of expression and feeling and I teach students to channel their own inspiration and passion into the basic principles of modern and non- modern music styles. Setting goals is the best way for the student to maximize each instructional lesson, and at the pace in which the student progresses, they will find great satisfaction in achieving goals and finding the potential of expression they have inside them :].

Instruments: Piano Violin Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Synthesizer Recorder Electric Violin Fiddle Orchestral Percussion Music Keyboard

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
As I kid, I held mini-concerts for neighbors to hear. When I joined band in middle school, I insisted on performing a solo at each concert. I also participated in as many local talent shows as possible. By high school, there were different groups and ensembles I was either a member of or was asked to come play with. Musically, I was noticed and became known around campus as "the music guy". I enjoy practicing - looked forward to it, and even during the frustrating moments I knew I was just a step closer to reaching "the next goal". I invite my students to broaden their expectations and of course - practice EVERY DAY!!

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Well, not exactly... I come from a rather large family and instead of giving you a history of each family member's music performances, let me just tell you this: Growing up, we regularly had "company" over (e.g., people from church, neighbors, relatives visiting, or friends from my parents' work, etc.) as well as friends of my 3 older brothers. The stereo was usually on in the background during these times. My parents, being Boomers, have inundated me with many musical influences from their youth. My older brothers exposed me to the most popular artists at the time. Music was also played in the car wherever we went. All this is to say while there were no instruments involved usually - I was exposed to a lexicon of some of the greatest music of the 20th Century and it inspired me to make great music myself!

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I prefer to play "GREAT" music - the exact genre doesn't matter! While my formal education focused mainly on Western music through different time periods (e.g., Renaissance, Baroque, Classic, Romantic, etc.) I do ultimately prefer pop music of various styles from the mid-late 20th Century on up to today!

If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I always understood the connection from one to the next... When I started on the (alto) saxophone, I learned about other saxophones (soprano, tenor, baritone, etc.) and recognized they all read music the same way, they are all put together the same way and essentially played the same way, so, while there are noticeable differences in size and exact timbre, going from one to the other never phased me. I realized if I understood rhythm, and could read treble clef music, then how many other instruments have that in common. Woodwind instruments basically are fingered left hand on top, right hand on the bottom, with index-middle-ring fingers performing most of the work. Exact embouchure differences are obviously needed to learn from one instrument to the next, but it's not rocket science! This knowledge carried over into brass instruments, and eventually violin - but I have to credit some seriously outstanding teachers I've had! Piano & keyboard is something I have self-taught, and for that - I have one piece of advice: Practice!

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.

Ok

Are you sure that's your only availability? The more availability you easier it will be to arrange a teacher for you.
