Matt is an excellent teacher with an intuitive teaching technique expanding a line of music in unexpected directions reinforcing musical ideas. The extensive site allows access to a cornucopia of jazz ideas, including recordings of the Monday classes, to enable you to catch up on missed lessons and repeat passages indefinitely. Highly recommended, igniting creativity and inspiring you to elevate your jazz knowledge and hopefully, your ability and confidence interpreting jazz ideas.

Matt's free 5 day course was a revelation for me. I've tried a few beginners jazz courses and they were always way over my head, but this one is different. Matt has a real gift for breaking things down into meaningful and doable chunks, whatever your level. His online courses are very clearly organised, systematically building one thing on top of another. The invitation to post videos makes you properly engage, and the support and feedback from the community is amazing.

I've been in Matt's Monday practice club since 2020, when he started it! It is an hour of guided practice in jazz vocabulary that I would never have discovered or drilled on my own. Matt is a great teacher and always brings interesting ideas and perspective to the session. My improvisational ability and rhythm have greatly improved through these sessions. Highly recommend, and a great value!

Being a member of this community has really given my jazz violin journey direction. Great tuition and support from Matt and interacting with others on the same journey has been fantastic.

Great learning resources and a proper wholesome community!
