Collaborate
Are you a virtuoso on your instrument? I would love to collaborate with you on a new piece! I'm looking for woodwind, brass, and string players who have professional recording equipment and a good presence on camera. If this fits you, email me at matt@mattrileymusic.com.
Commission
Many of the pieces on my site have been commissioned by patrons from churches, high schools, universities and orchestras. This article published by Meet the Composer explains the process and gives estimates for new works based on ensemble and length. The cost to commission can be expensive but forming a consortium greatly reduces the financial burden on any one individual or ensemble. If you would be interested in becoming a partner in a current project or commissioning a new piece, send an email to matt@mattrileymusic.com.
Clinic
I enjoy working directly with orchestras, ensembles, and music students. My clinics are tailored to your group’s needs, whether it’s refining phrasing and ensemble sound, exploring interpretation and tone color, or working through one of my pieces in preparation for a performance.
During a clinic, I can:
• Coach rehearsals and provide feedback
• Discuss arranging, composition, and orchestration
• Share insights on preparing for live performance and recording sessions
• Answer questions from students and conductors
Clinics can be customized in length and focus. I offer both in-person and virtual options.
