Multi Instrumentalist and composer Matt G, a native New Yorker, has been on the NYC jazz scene since 1997. After taking an interest in music at an early age, his path eventually led him to jazz and improvization. He cultivated the necessary tools to become a professional musician at The Purchase Conservatory of Music and has since shared the stage with jazz luminaries such as Adam Nussbaum, Andy Laverne, Todd Coolman, Ray Vega, Jon Cowherd, and the last Dennis Irwin. Matt's debut album "Familiar Places" garnered critical acclaim and peaked at #13 on the CMJ Jazz Radio Chart. "Blood Songs", Garrison's sophomore record, was released in May of 2012 and has already received glowing reviews.
Instruments:
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. While completing my Masters Degree in Jazz Performance at Queens College I started a Jazz quartet. I have been very fortunate to perform and lead this wonderful group basically every weekend for the past 2 and a half years. I have a strong musical foundation and this has enabled me to perform with confidence in many different musical situations. Many genres of music from classical to jazz and eveything in between. For the past 3 years I have also been a member of the "Long Island Concert Pops Orchestra". My experiences of performing, recording, studying and practicing music on a daily basis have helped me grow as a musician and person. I am very grateful to be able to share my musical experiences and passion for music with my students.
Instruments:
I am an enthusiastic and passionate instructor who loves to help others discover the joy of music. I hold a Bachelor of Music in Audio and Music Production from Western Connecticut State University. I am a classically trained clarinetist who has been studying and performing clarinet for 13 years, including 5 years of private instruction. I also have experience in studying piano as a second instrument, saxophone, and music composition. My specialty, however, is the combination of music and electronics, everything from recording classical music performances to electronic music composition.
Instruments:
I have been teaching clarinet and saxophone lessons for over 25 years, and continue to really enjoy helping students reach their full potential. I have introduced many beginners to both instruments, and have also taken on students who are in middle school or high school and never had a lesson.
Instruments:
Music has been apart of my life since I was a baby, and I have always been drawn to its captivating allure. I started saxophone when I was eleven and began playing in jazz bands when I was thirteen. But it wasn't until my freshman year of college that my musical journey really started. While at the University of Wyoming, I was the lead alto in the top Jazz Ensemble for three years in a row, and I was in the top jazz combo both my junior and senior year. I was fortunate enough to share the stage with jazz legends such as Dave Douglas, Bob Mintzer and the Yellojackets, Eric Reed, and Dave Pietro. When I moved to New York, I was introduced to another world of music and jazz. Purchase College and the New York City jazz scene has introduced me to some of the greatest musicians in the world. I now perform in some of the Purchase College ensembles, and I lead my own Quintet made up of fellow Master's students that performs at Jazz Clubs in New York City.
