Matthew Charles Weiss is a proud member of The Delian Society which is an international community of composers, performers, scholars, recording engineers, music publishers, and amateurs dedicated to the revitalization of the great tonal traditions in art music. Matt has composed over 30 works of various genres, many of which are currently under revision and will be available on this website in the future.

Matt is a strong supporter of the Suzuki Method, especially for young violinists wishing to develop all the skills they need to become successful musicians, students, and well-rounded human beings. Dr. Suzuki's method is based on the development of a deep love of classical music from a very early age. Children exposed to the Suzuki Method live and breathe great music absorbing it like a sponge in the same way that they learn their original spoken language or "Mother Tongue".

Along with being a fine composer, Matt is also a solo, orchestral, and chamber violinist of the highest caliber. He began playing the violin at age 4 and composed his first classical composition in his teens while studying music theory at the Northwest School of the Arts, Humanities, and Environment. Later, he spent 2 years at the Evergreen State College where he studied Western Literature and Computer Science. Following this he transferred to the University of Washington School of Music and in 1991 earned a degree in Violin Performance while studying with the internationally renowned soliost, teacher, orchestral and chamber musician Steven Staryk. He previously studied with violinists Walter Schwede, Gwen Thompson, Mara Dvonch, Emanuel Zetlin, Denes Zsigmondy, Mari Nakamura, and Dr. Shinichi Suzuki, founder of the Suzuki Method. Matt studied music theory and composition with Ken Benshoof, Diane Thome, and James Beale at the University of Washington and privately with William McGreal and James William Clarke who also coaches him in piano, voice, and conducting.Matthew Charles Weiss is a proud member of The Delian Society which is an international community of composers, performers, scholars, recording engineers, music publishers, and amateurs dedicated to the revitalization of the great tonal traditions in art music.
