Matti Carter began studying and playing the piano at the age of six. Thee music of Frederic Chopin was among his biggest influences, and Chopin still remains one of his favourite classical composers. His interest in music composition began as a hobby already at the age of eight, when he composed his first piece using rudimentary MIDI composition and notation software.
From 1998-2012 Matti attended several music schools in Helsinki, where he studied piano, music theory and music composition as well as attending several piano masterclasses organised by the Sibelius Academy.
His period of national service in 2012 provided an opportunity to develop his accompaniment skills whilst performing as a pianist in the Kaarti military band.
In 2013 he moved to Tampere to study music composition, with classical piano as his main instrument. In 2017 he obtained Batchelor Of Music Degree from Tampere University of Applies Sciences, having already started his own piano teaching business in Tampere the previous year.
Matti worked on his teaching business in Tampere for about 4 years from 2016 to 2020. In 2020 he decided to become a solo performer for a while and ended up selling the business and moving to Helsinki.
After working on different projects such as a complete album and a full composition course, he established a new piano teaching school “Pasilan pianokoulu” in Helsinki in 2022.
