Matt Fogg
Matt Fogg’s musical journey began as a trumpet player at the age of ten. His interest in the piano, however, didn’t develop until high school, when he began listening to greats such as Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, and Keith Jarrett. These legendary jazz musicians, among others, helped Matt discover a new passion to pursue…jazz piano. Matt attended the University of New Hampshire, earning a degree in Music Education. He performed in various university ensembles, and had the opportunity to play with legendary jazz musicians such as Clark Terry, Slide Hampton, Bud Shank, and Jimmy Heath. Following graduation from UNH, Matt embarked upon a career as a music educator, working as the choral director at Morse High School in Bath, Maine. After teaching in the public school arena for several years, Matt decided to transform his unique skills and experiences into an exciting, and challenging, new venture. In August of 2008, he (and two partners) launched the Midcoast School of Music.
Matt Fogg is a Yamaha endorsed artist & educator who prefers to play Yamaha products whenever possible.
