He also teaches Music History & Literature III, Music History & Literature IV, and individual brass lessons. As a performer, Matthew is a two-time DCI World champion, four-time DCI I&E champion, and featured in the recorded audio and on-field choreography of an MTV-produced NFL Super Bowl halftime show. As an educator he has taught all age groups, from beginning 5th/6th grade band, to middle and high school. Bands under his guidance have reached UIL state finals (both marching & concert), earned a BOA Regional championship, a BOA Grand Nationals championship, and a Midwest Clinic feature. Dr. Lamm’s unique performing background – as both orchestral tuba player and marching band member – enables him to bring the resonance and gravitas of the concert hall to the field, and the integration and work-ethic of the marching field to the concert hall. Matthew is privileged to bring these diverse musical experiences to bear on modern music-making endeavors with adult students of various backgrounds. He finds joy and purpose in realizing God-given potential through cultivated psychoanalytic & physio-analytic approaches to music performance. Yet Dr. Matthew Lamm’s true goal is the comprehensive development of students into image-bearers of Christ through an intellectual, experiential & evidence-based teaching methodology. An active performer and clinician, Dr. Lamm is a regular member of the Arpeggio Brass Quintet, Grace Symphony Orchestra, and a substitute member of Paragon Brass.
