Music Matters Reviews 

I have learned so much from Gareth and have gained the confidence to start believing in my playing. I love the Maestros group and look forward to each month's subject which has broadened my musical knowledge. i would recommend this group to anyone with an interest in any kind of music at any level.

I highly recommend, to whoever wants to take their life and Music to new levels. I’ve signed up to a bunch of courses, coming from new musical background and just musical air. Gareth is a fantastic teacher and brings clarity to every concept he explains. He makes everything feels easy and approachable, with plenty of explanation and loads of practice. You can feel the experience and, most importantly, the presence behind the screen. I have reached out with plenty of questions and have been getting responses within hours usually. Your line it’s been really good for me . I cannot do things that I would’ve never thought so easily possible. I can come up with a nice harmony on songs that I like playing, and I know that with more practice, I will be able to tackle every single key! One more thing, I am blind, and Gareth has a way of explaining things that makes everything very accessible to me, without even knowing it! This is not an obstacle in his courses… He voices, every single thing he wrote on his board.
So, to whoever decides to invest time and money, this is the best place, I can’t imagine anything better.
Thanks for making this happen!

Very clear, simple and completely understandable review of Grade One aural.

The courses are well-structured, and you can replay any section to refresh what you have learned. I joined Maestros and really enjoy interacting with Gareth, Alex and our community of composers (of all levels from beginners to experienced) from around the world. We listen to and give positive criticism and comments on each others' pieces. There is always a great variety of styles from brass band to orchestral pieces, ensemble works to songs. We all value Gareth's comments and analysis ... and even his jokes!

Before discovering MusicMatters some four years ago and becoming a MusicMatters Maestro (level 3) two years ago, I had always had a hard time with core aspects of composing -- like modulating, which, with Gareth's always supporting guidance and crystal-clear explanations, looks so simple now, even in its most adventurous forms. And I'm still learning from his vast experience! Thank you so much!

The maestro webinars and online video material are all incredibly informative and excellent value. Gareth and Alex are very responsive to follow-up questions too.

As a life long student of music I’ve always gone out of my way to study with the best teachers/musicians as I think this is the best way to success. Looking back over my 45 years of study with all the highly skilled teachers/musicians I’ve had ~ Gareth Green/MusicMatters is the only one that gets an A+ rating from me. I’ve been in the Maestros Level 3 group for over year now and last year was the best year of my musical life.

Well, I love music and composing .. always have and i find the knowledge Gareth has and his ability to chat through music concepts, theory and analysing works of music brilliant. Many thanks to music matters or mmcourses.co.uk as they are online. A big thumbs up from me.

The courses offered by Music Matters are professionally presented and highly informative. Even those who initally profess to have only a slight interest in music theory and performance will find the courses highly stimulating and interesting. As somebody who has completed several of these courses, I cannot begin to put into words how grateful I am to the team at Music Matters for the knowledge I have gained, and the hours of enjoyment I have spent in studying their content.

Gareth is one of the best music theory teachers around. His lessons are clear and well-organized. And he delivers his content with a delightful dash of humor.
