Matt Sharrock

  • Assistant Professor of Core Studies and Contemporary Classical Music

What do you want students to gain from your classes or lessons? My primary goal as a teacher is for my students to walk away with the ability to engage with an enormously broad spectrum of music and a clear plan for how to put their own artistic goals into practice.

How does your professional background contribute to your teaching? My background as a professional performer definitely helps add weight to everything that I teach. My students know that every concept I try to convey comes from years of practical experience in our ever-evolving artistic field.
