I ve been playing viola for twenty years, and can be found playing in Portland, Oregon in classical ensembles, rock bands and in the recording studio. I also have a passion for teaching music. I offer private lessons and teach musical movement group classes. </p> <p><a href="http://www.sfcm.edu/">The San Francisco Conservatory of Music</a> was my home for four intensive years, where I studied with <a href="http://www.ivesquartet.org/levitz.htm">Jodi Levitz</a>. I graduated with a B.M. in Viola performance in 2006. My true love is chamber music, and I have studied in depth at numerous international music festivals as well as at Stanford and the Meadowmount School of Music. I am continuing my education by pursuing certification in Dalcroze Eurhythmics, a method for teaching rhythmic movement as well as physical and instrumental improvisation at the <a href="http://www.cmu.edu/cfa/dalcroze/">Carnegie Mellon Dalcroze Training Center</a>. </p> <p>Since moving to Portland I have been immersed in several different exciting projects. I am the founder, and proud parent of the group <a href="http://www.classicalrevolutionpdx.org/">Classical Revolution PDX</a> which is dedicated to breaking down stereotypes about classical music and making chamber music accessible to everyone. </p> <p> Sometimes I have to break away from the classical world, plug in my viola and rock out a little. It is Portland after all. Currently I play with Ritchie Young of <a href="http://www.lochlomondmusic.com/"> Loch Lomond</a>. I have performed in the past with The Dimes, Sophe Lux, The Coal Age, Celilo and James Faretheewell. <p>Well, that s me, I m Mattie and I play viola. Of course, if you have any questions please <a href="mailto:heathermattie@gmail.com" >email me</a>, and I would be delighted to tell you more about myself. </p> </div> </div> <div id="picture"> <img id="mattie" src="eyevla.jpg" alt="Mattie"/> </div> <div id="performances"> <p class="tunes"> Upcoming Performances </p> <p> Classical Revolution Showcase Concert <br/> 4/28/12 8:00pm @ Uncommon Ground <br/> 1401 W Devon Avenue, Chicago IL <br/> <br/> ------- <br/> <br/> Classical Revolution Showcase Concert <br/> 4/29/12 8:00pm @ Cole's Bar <br/> 2338 North Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago IL <br/> <br/> ------- <br/> <br/> Classical Revolution PDX <br/> 5/02/12 7:00pm @ The Waypost <br/> 3120 N.
