TESTIMONIALS

"I'm very glad to have had Matt recommended to me as a double bass teacher. I have been having lessons with Matt for over a year now - In my first few lessons Matt quickly identified issues with my technique and gave me exercises to resolve them, meaning I soon noticed an improvement in my tone and sound production. He has continued to help me develop my technical ability, whilst also broadening my understanding of jazz harmony and improvisation, as well as helping me to make my practice more productive. Recently Matt has helped me prepare for successful audition to study jazz double bass at music college."
