Check out what some people have to say about Matt Amy's work....


Daryl McKenzie
(Composer/Arranger/Musical Director - Australia's Got Talent plus many other T.V shows)

"Matt Amy been writing charts for my Big Band for several years now and I used his transcribing/arranging skills on "Australia's Got Talent". He's got amazing ears and transcribes ridiculously hard stuff. If I ever need a chart in a hurry, Matt's the man - he's fast, accurate, reliable, affordable, and gets the work in on time.

He has got a good sound library so the demos he can make are better than your average Sibelius made "toy" piece.

Matt's a mean Bass Bone player, directs a great Big Band and to top it all off, he's a great guy!"


John Chaplin - Fleming
(Australian Comedian/Singer/Entertainer
- "Scared Weird Little Guys")

"As a practicing musician for two decades I have had the opportunity to work with a number of ensembles ranging from small acappella groups to symphony orchestras, working both as a performer and an arranger.

Working with Matt Amy in his capacity as bandleader and arranger has been simple and enjoyable. His arranging is precise and economic with great attention to dynamics and structure as well as the accuracy of details in every part. As good as any professional arranger I have met"


Jordan Murray
(Trombonist/Composer/Arranger - Dancing with the stars, It takes two)

"Over the past few years, Matt Amy has continued to establish himself as a strong and versatile composer, arranger and band leader. His quality of work is of the highest standard and when a deadline needs to be met, Matt will have it done yesterday!
I would recommend Matt Amy in an instant!"

Bob Valentine
(Australian Singer/Entertainer)

"Matt Amy is working hard to keep the art of Big Band music alive. However, his enthusiasm, professionalism & talent will ensure that he goes a long way in the music biz in general. It fills me with great hope that young musicians of his calibre are coming up to continue the tradition &, at the same time, take live music into the future."


Andy O'Connell
(Educator/Band Leader - Blackburn High School, Musical Director and Saxophonist - Reverend Funk, Swing Sensations Big Band)

'The new guard' - Matt Amy is one of the new breed of composer/arrangers with a fire and thirst for great big band music. He has studied many of the legends of big band writing but also persues new and innovative music with a passion. 

Always meticulous and thoughtfull about style and colour, there are no formulas or short cuts, just great musical writing. The bottom line is Matt Amy loves what he does and has made this style and this genre his thing. . . . . . .


Henry Kovacevic
(Band Leader - B# Big Band)

"Matt Amy's arrangements are first class! His attention to detail ensures that any arrangment he produces is of the highest quality and a valuable addition to any music library. In addition, he is exteremely professional and a top bloke! We appreciate all the effort he's put into arrangements for B# and look forward to continuing our working relationship with him for a long time to come."


Toronto Starlight Orchestra

"Working from all the way down under in Australia, Matt Amy continues to regularly deliver customized arrangements to us by email as PDF files.

To date, every chart we have specially commissioned him to arrange for us that our vocalists and musicians have read has met with approval and positive response.
Here is a sampling of the type of comments some of our orchestra members have for his work:

"fresh interpretation of a nice melody"
"creative & sensitive"

"a mature arranger"

"beautiful rich layering of textures & harmonics"

"very cool piece of work"

"provides rare opportunity for almost every team member in the section to shine"

"a refreshing change from our usual repertoire" "
