It is with great sadness to write that Matt is no longer with us after a short battle with cancer in 2024. We will keep his memory and successes at Booths alive on this page, especially in regards to his student achievements, of which there were many.
Matt is an extremely talented individual and a popular tutor here at Booth’s Music, with a solid base of long term students. He offers violin lessons up to a very advanced level, and mandolin to an intermediate standard of playing.
Having taken many of his students through the Trinity College examination syllabus, Matt offers a high standard of teaching and can boast an extremely high exam pass rate. Matt is also proud to have guided a student to Chetham’s School of Music. He is able to offer expert tuition across a broad range of styles, including classical, folk and modern violin playing. What’s more, he regularly encourages and organises violin showcases with his students, both in groups and individually.
