Matt Noeth
Before working at NCMS, Matt delivered mail for the United States Postal Service in Nashua. Before becoming a letter carrier Matt taught elementary music in the Boston and Lawrence Public School Systems for 10 years! He worked with elementary, middle, and high school students teaching general, choral, and instrumental music with a focus on modern band pedagogy and performance.
Matt is extremely excited to work with the Nashua Community Music School community and can’t wait to share his love of music and enthusiasm for education! Matt graduated from the University of Massachusetts Boston in 2014 with a bachelor’s in guitar performance and Elementary Music Education. His main instrument is the guitar, but he loves to sing and play just about any instrument you can imagine.
When Matt is not involved with music, he loves to curl (the Olympic rock sliding sport), explore the woods on his dirt bike, and spend lots of time with his wife Allie, and their crazy, furry, four-legged family.
