“My Best Piano Teacher Ever” Matt is a Phenomenal Jazz Piano Player, Teacher, and Mentor. He is a superb listener and is excellent with evaluating “where you’re at” and taking you, “where you want to go.” He is positive, encouraging and provides challenges to optimize your musical growth and potential. It’s all about “The Journey” – he will say. And I’m fortunate to have him on mine. In 2 years, he has taken me from crayons to perfume! Musically speaking, from Basic Triads to Buttery Jazz Notes / Chords; to attending Jazz Sessions and becoming involved with Local Jazz workshops to gain experience with learning how to play in a combo and improve my improvisational skills - which is my goal. However, I would never have done it, if it wasn’t for Matt motivating me to “Just go, Listen and Participate.” I’m still working on the participation piece due to my own performance anxiety, but am confident that I will get there –with Matt’s encouragement and exceptional teaching style. If your serious about learning Jazz Piano – Matt should be “Your Teacher!” You won’t regret it! Suzy

Thrive is such an awesome place to take lessons. We've been here for just over 6 months now and it is so organized, friendly, and professional. My daughter loves all of the fun group classes and events they do.
