Matt is a former band director of 8 years who is still enchanted by music and the magic of the ocarina! Originally a percussionist, he bought an ocarina for his wife's birthday in September of 2021. A dreaded "Amazon" Legend of Zelda replica...oof. Despite this, he really enjoyed stealing it from his wife Sammie and playing on it for hours. Less than a week later, he decided to purchase a well-tuned ocarina and he's been playing daily ever since! Matt is an active content creator on TikTok (@ocarina.hype/Matt Hopwood - Ocarina) and is steadily branching out into other social media platforms. He is a member of Silver Wind Ocarina, studies ocarina under the tutelage of Cris Gale, and was a featured performer at Ocarina Fest 2022. His favorite things about the ocarina: It is a very intuitive wind instrument, allowing the musician to be very musically expressive and produces a lovely, pure tone.
