Matteo Liberatore is an excellent music and guitar teacher. I was looking to bolster years of playing flamenco guitar with musical theory, which I knew nothing of, as a bridge to playing jazz. After playing two pieces for him, Matteo was able to pinpoint my strengths, weaknesses and level of play. The curriculum he developed for me was spot on and I noticed marked improvement right out of the gate. Matteo's talent and training make him a great musician; he is also articulate, patient and dedicated, which makes him a great instructor. His love and passion for music is palpable and infectious. He is approachable, trustworthy, and genuinely interested in the musical development of his students. I highly recommend Matteo Liberatore to any serious student, regardless of skill level or style. His classes are a great investment in one's musical education and; therefore, a real bargain.

I started taking lessons with Matteo nearly four years ago at the Music Institute of Long Island. Although I had been taking guitar lessons for about a year before that, I hadnt played much on the instrument beyond some simple Spanish fingerpicking tunes. Studying with Matteo, I was shown all sorts of musical genres, from ragtime to Italian. He didnt simply teach me songs though. He was also my introduction to music theory. In our lessons, he explained the types of chords and showed me how to create my own chord progressions. After only a few weeks, I was able to improvise on a basic I VI V progression. Matteo is passionate for music, and he inspires his students by sharing new music and even his own songs. With Matteo, you get the full package. Im thankful I got the privilege to learn with him.

Matteo has been the single best influence on my musical development to date. Beyond simply supporting the development of my technical ability, Matteo brings a tremendous amount of knowledge around phrasing and applied music theory. The result? For the first time, I'm actually incorporating dynamic intervals, complex arpeggios, and modal theory into my soloing. Does my band understand what I'm doing? No. Have they commented on how much I've improved? Absolutely - and that's what matters! Beyond his capacity as teacher, Matteo is also just a ridiculously awesome guy to have around. Hire him now you've already waited too long!

FAQs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes. I am always looking for new songs to teach, new ways of explaining things, new books to purchase. I do it to keep me and the students constantly involved.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
From the moment I started playing the guitar I knew I wanted to be a musician. Along the way, I realized I was also good at sharing my knowledge with others.
