At Matrix, I learned to love music in all its forms. I formed connections with peers through group lessons and ensemble playing, learned to listen to music in a way that sparked my imagination, and discovered how to express myself through composition.

I found the Yamaha Music Course at Matrix accessible and inspiring, and Matrix itself is a wonderful place to learn, setting me up for a life-long positive relationship with music. It’s thanks to this that music forms a large part of my life now: I compose music for piano, write and perform pop music, and am doing a music degree at the University of Oxford, and I find that I’m using skills I learned at Matrix in everything I do!
