About Matt
I am a professional pianist/music teacher. I have been playing and teaching keyboards/piano for 35 years. Like many others, I had piano lessons from age 8 (ish). Standard stuff: scales, fingering, reading music. Some easy classical pieces. But my musical journey really began when I heard Bohemian Rhapsody. I thought: “I want to play that !” So I sat at the piano and worked it out. That was the start of a lifetime love of the piano and keyboards. I had just enough theoretical training to read music, understand chords, arpeggios, scales run, key changes, the blues scale etc... All of which were present in Bohemian Rhapsody. So I focused on Pop, Rock, Blues and Jazz. I was self-taught from that point on. I joined a band at 16 and have been in bands ever since. My learning was slow. I listened to the radio, bought music score books of pop songs and recorded anything I could find on the VHS tape recorder. There was no internet and I never had lessons in contemporary keyboards, or a mentor to point me in the right direction. I never met another keyboard player until many years later. So, my musical journey was a series of lucky breaks. Being in the right place at the right time and meeting lots of very talented, kind, wonderful musicians. Playing keyboards/piano has provided me with the most rewarding, sociable activity anyone can imagine. Playing with other musicians, no matter what their level, is an absolute honour. Being in a band is the greatest team activity. You practise with each other, you support each other, you’ve got each other's backs and you can create something that is unique, together. My main goal for teaching is to enable young people (and Adults) to acquire the same skills and opportunities that I had - but take the element of luck out of it.

Matt has been helping me learn some basic boogie-woogie and blues for the past few weeks and it's been wonderful! He has a dedicated piano room for teaching at home. He brings great enthusiasm and experience and has tailored the lessons to my ability and interests. He even surprised me by uploading some of the licks we were learning onto YouTube shorts and sending me the link so I could have a record at home. Matt is the real deal and if you're looking for any kind of piano instructor in the Bath area, you can't go wrong with him.
My daughter started Rock School Keys last year to complete the 'skills' section of Duke of Edinburgh Bronze. She really looks forward to lessons and every keen to continue. The sessions are fun and engaging. The process Matt uses really keeps the attention of the students and they progress to real songs they know and love so fast. A great way to learn! I can highly recommend Matt as a tutor.
