Matthew Beardsworth

Hey, I'm Matthew, I'm 18 and in my first undergrad year at UoA.

I particularly enjoy writing music - for the last few years I have been arranging and composing pieces for North Shore Youth Music, which have been performed over the years at the Bruce Mason Centre and the Auckland Town Hall. Last year I featured on Seven Sharp as part of their feature on the We Are One Concert for Autism, and had original compositions performed by the St Matthew's Chamber Orchestra and the APO.

From Semester 1 I will be taking a Bmus degree majoring in music composition. I have long-term dreams of moving to the USA and writing film scores for the next generation of blockbuster movies.
