"We engaged Matt to come into the music college as a guest Musical Director for our undergraduates (including guitarists, bassists and drummers in addition to vocal students) where he delivered an energetic vocal warm-up session prior to conducting the students’ performances. The students were totally engaged with his relaxed style and had great fun with his perfectly paced range of song-based vocal exercises. It was very impressive how quickly he created multiple harmony parts and had the students working in teams really forcing them to listen deeply to one another and foster a real team-based approach to creating music together." Mark Whitlam - Deputy Head of Drum Faculty at BIMM
