Born out of the popular radio series “A Note To You,” broadcast on public radio stations around the country on NPR, Music Matters has evolved as a unique interactive multimedia web program for listeners of all ages. Created by veteran radio and recording producer Nat Johnson, Music Matters strives to introduce a wide choice of artistic styles to a general audience of all musical backgrounds.

Music Matters is informal but informative - educational and entertaining. Each program is based on a central musical idea divided into six or seven short segments. Listeners can choose which module to hear as many times as they wish, or decide to hear a different program altogether. This concept of listener choice is unique to web-based music listening and we hope you’ll enjoy each and every program!
