******************************************************* "I would like to highly recommend Matt Burmeister / aka: Professor Yippit for any libraries in the state that are looking for new talent on the children’s entertainment scene. Matt and his band were great! His songs had positive, kid-friendly messages. His voice is really nice – and the music had everyone from the children to the grandparents rocking along and wanting more. One of my board members who came to help run a carnival game commented that the sound quality was excellent – never overpowering as “rock” music can often be."
Regina George - Covington Library Director
*******************************************************"Professor Yippit & Friends is not just a show, it's an experience! It's entertainment that the whole family can enjoy. And, the music and energy is so cantagious, that you'll find yourself singing and laughing along."

*******************************************************"Over the last couple of days, I've been checking out the profiles of people and bands who write and perform children's music. I truly believe that your lyrics and music are the best I've heard (there are a couple others who are really good - but I think you're going to be the next big children's musician).............I love the song "Rearrange". This song is incredible! "
*******************************************************It's (the CD) for my son - he's 3 1/2 and loves rock'n'roll...I found you through myspace and happened to click on your page - LOVED Rearrange - totally cool!!! You did a great job..!!
*******************************************************“I was just driving home from church, by myself, no kids in the car, to pick something up and go right back. About half way home, I realized that I was singing along with Professor Yippit!!! I have worked in the childcare/preschool "industry" for 14 years now and I am the mother of 3 crazy and wonderful kids, and I think that Professor Yippit is the BEST children's album ever. I love it. It's not just for small kids. My 7 and 9 year olds love it too. They will randomly break out in a song from the C.D. It's so cool to here them singing "Don't Give Up" or "Use Your Imagination". I can tell them those things 'til I'm blue in the face, but they here it better put to music. I love the songs because they aren't just cutesy songs about nothing, they have meaning and thought in them. Thanks for wonderful entertainment for my kids (and me)!!!!
*********************************************************"Bravo, Absolutely Wonderful! The CD catches you from the beginning. You can't help but tap your feet and sing along. Every little child,as well as the child in all of us will love it.It has lyrics that will leave you singing through the day. Listen to the words..there are wonderful messages about life and love."
*********************************************************"....it's always a pleasure to see what his creativity will invent next!"
**********************************************************"Thank you very much for performing at FamJam. Everyone thought you were great and a wonderful addition to the event. Thanks for sharing your time and talent."
********************************************************"Wonderful CD. It is very upbeat. My daughter loves it."
*********************************************************"Very enjoyable, different, fun sound"
PROFESSOR YIPPIT (Matt Burmeister) -
Matt Burmeister was born in Danville, Illinois where he first fell in love with music. At about the age of 13, he started taking guitar lessons and a couple years later formed his first band. The band played the local bars and parties, and eventually produced their very first album. But it wasnt until he enrolled in a recording course through a junior college with Pogo Studio owner Mark Rubel that his musical passion became more apparent. Marks devotion and love for music fueled Matts inspiration. I love the whole process of composing musicstarting with nothing, creating music and writing lyrics from scratch, then months later you bring it to life in the studio. Having the finished product in your hand then witnessing it touch someone in a different wayits almost magical!
Matt attended G.I.T. at Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California in 1994 to further his education and love for music. Shortly after graduating from MI, he moved to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina where he formed Burmusic Productions. Since its official birth in 1999, Burmusic Productions has been creating original music for many different facets such as independent films, nationwide television commercials, childrens shows, sonic landscaping for theme park/family attractions as well as released six of his own acclaimed CDs and DVDs which sell internationally.
Many of the projects have received wonderful accolades. When it was first released, the Barefoot Buddies CD hit the ..1 spot for the most frequently downloaded childrens album on the Internet Underground Music Archive (IUMA) website. The single Bugface from The Jungles Playful Symphony CD was voted Best of the Best by CDBaby. Burmusic Productions first DVD The Outdoorsmans Guide to Snake Safety, which was filmed, edited, and scored by Matt, was aired on television as a feature on the PBS affiliate South Carolina Educational Television. The Mystical Introspection CDs peaceful instrumental melodies are used in yoga studios and classes as well as by many massage therapists for relaxation. Matt has also written and produced music for the Gene Ho Photography commercial which aired on the WB network and performed educational shows for the Bass Pro Shop due to the success of the Snake Safety video.
Burmusic Productions current project, Professor Yippit & Friends, is a live show designed for children and families. Professor Yippit is a fun and crazy mad scientist who educates children of all ages about life, love, and the respect for our Earth through uplifting positive original music and crazy antics.
