Matt Chelich is the accompanist for the Southlake Children's Choir. Dedicated to piano performance, Matt began his piano studies at the age of 5 after falling in love with the sight of the keyboard. Self-taught until he was 14, Matt paired up with amazing piano teachers who taught him musicianship, musicality, and a deeper appreciation of classical music. Matt plans on creating a life long career out of piano performance; he currently resides in Hobart, Indiana. |
