Introduction

FREE 30-MINUTE TRIAL LESSON About Matt Shill Music Hi, I’m Matt — a professional musician and instructor with over 15 years of experience helping students and artists of all ages reach their musical goals. I hold a dual degree in Piano & Guitar Performance from the Frost School of Music and began my training at the Eastman School of Music. I’ve taught students from ages 4 to 94, and many have gone on to study at elite programs like Juilliard, Berklee, Manhattan School of Music, and Full Sail University. As a multi-instrumentalist (piano, guitar, bass, drums, and vocals), I offer: - Private Online Music Lessons - Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass, Drums, and Vocals - Recording & Mixing for student project or student auditions For lessons, I use My Music Staff to provide: - Organized lesson notes and history - Easy online lesson joining with one click - Automatic reminders - Seamless scheduling and communication I’m well-versed in the ABRSM certification pathway, and can guide students through formal testing, competitions, and high-stakes audition prep — including recording pre-screens and building repertoire portfolios for top conservatories. My own debut album has reached over 1 million streams, and I’ve worked on everything from intimate recordings to full-scale orchestral productions. My goal is always to meet you where you are — and help you grow into the musician you’re meant to be. 🎯 Never Miss a Lesson Guarantee We know life happens — and you should never lose progress because of a scheduling conflict. That’s why every student is backed by our Never Miss a Lesson Guarantee: a personalized video review to keep you on track, even when you can’t attend live. How it works: - 24+ hour notice (student cancellation): Choose a reschedule or a custom NVM video. - Less than 24-hour notice: No reschedule, but you’ll receive a NVM video. - No-show (no notice): No reschedule and no video. - Teacher cancellation: Choose a reschedule or a NVM video.

One project we’re especially proud of is the release of our founder’s debut album, "Don’t Find Me." It took about 1.5 years to write, record, and produce, and it’s now available on all major streaming platforms. The project represents the dedication and real-world experience that we bring to every lesson at Musikkii.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Music lessons should always be fun, engaging, and tailored to the student. Look for a provider who listens to your goals, teaches in a style you enjoy, and helps you stay motivated. At Matt Shill Music, we believe the best way to learn is through the music you love — whether that’s pop, rock, classical, jazz, or anything else. If lessons feel like a chore, something’s missing. Find a teacher who inspires you and makes learning enjoyable.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Before starting lessons, it’s helpful to consider a few things: - What are your musical goals? - Do you want to learn to read music? - Is writing or recording music important to you? - Are you interested in performing live someday? - How much time can you commit to practicing each week? - What qualities are most important to you in a teacher?
