Biography

A graduate of the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada, Matt Neufeld (b. 1985) does his best to compose, teach and play music for as many people as he can convince or coerce. Matt spends most of his days writing music from his studio at home, and maintains a full schedule of composing, performing, serving as a guest conductor and clinician, and procrastinating by starting just one more farm in Stardew Valley. In his spare time, Matt enjoys competitive board gaming, playing his wife's favourite songs on the piano in ways that do NOT endear him to her, and having his three children try to beat him at Mario Kart.

Testimonials

It was truly a pleasure having you here, Matt. There was so much to take away from your clinics and adjudications across all groups and individuals. I hope you had a great first experience in Thompson - it won't be the last.
