Outside his performing career, Mat taught double bass, electric bass and electric, acoustic and classical guitar at the prestigious Horace Mann School in Riverdale, New York. Since returning to New Zealand in 2019, Mat has worked with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, led ‘The Committee’ at the Wellington Jazz Festival - and was a soloist with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra at the 2020 New Zealand Festival. He teaches privately and also at Saint Kentigern College, King’s College Conservatorium of Music and Auckland Grammar School.
"Mat is a brilliant musician and performer who shares his profound talents with our school community with great humility and selflessness. He’s fiercely dedicated to the department and his students and instinctively knows how to challenge and reach a wide range of student abilities and personalities. Mat is organized and efficient, he communicates extremely well, and is always professional and tremendously kind. It was a pleasure to work with Mat as he brought not only wonderful musical talent, but also warmth and good cheer to our school." - Tim Ho, Head of Music, Horace Mann School, New York
"Mat Fieldes is an extraordinarily gifted musician, a virtuosic performer, dedicated teacher, and wonderful human being. He has performed in concerts of The Lyric Chamber Music Society of New York and in our educational outreach programs. He is a superb communicator and educator as well as an amazing player. Wherever Mat is making music or teaching others, he is an asset. Anyone who has contact with him in any capacity is privileged and lucky" - Dr. Joan Kretschmer, Artistic Director/Founder, The Lyric Chamber Music Society of New York
