The Studio Brought To Your Home
Hi there! My name is Matthew Richard and this is my webpage, PraisePiano.Online. I'm a Miami-based missionary in Honduras who specializes in instructing those who love God and want to praise Him with music. Students I teach through video sessions learn how to read sheet music, play chords, use correct classical technique, and even play & sing along with their favorite worship tracks, all from the convenience of home.
​The program:​
-
Four 30-minute online lessons/month
-
20 minutes of practice 5 days/week recommended

Lessons are very traditional and offer an expansion of knowledge in music theory and preparation for worship team service. Beginner students start with note-reading and basic chord theory. Advanced students refine their playing/singing skills, learn advanced sheet music interpretation, and study chord substitutions & re-harmonization. Students are encouraged to perfect their assignments and record family-filmed video recordings for their home scrapbooks. I am very patient and encouraging as we develop your talents as an offering to the Lord. I hope you sign up for your 2 free introductory lessons. I look forward to meeting you and teaching you your first songs!

Sincerely,
Mr. Matt

Matthew Richard has a relationship of jazz and intellectual musical perfection with America's most historical bands. Even before he finished high school, he was recruited into the 34th Army Band, a unit of the U.S. Army that performs parades, concerts, and ceremonies for the public and the military. For more than 7 years, he was a musician-soldier for the Army National Guard and the U.S. Army Reserves. He recently held the Keys I position in the orchestra of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus, touring for more than three years before the Greatest Show on Earth ended its 146-year run. When you hear Matthew Richard, you're hearing a piece of history with a new beginning.
