About

My experience is fairly broad after almost 40 years in music! from performance to composition to audio production and even lyric writing...I try to pass along practical ways to become the artist or guitarist that you wish to become.I work with each student based on who they are. I am interested in challenging you and exciting you, not forcing you into an approach or learning style that doesn't work for you. I enjoy the creative aspect of communicating and working with people around music. I love having the opportunity to connect with a variety of people from all walks of life, and learning more about the music they love, as I help them grow as musicians.

Basically, I called him, told him what was bugging me (for the past 6 years) about my playing and he showed my how to fix it the first lesson. He has made music theory make sense to me and has a lot of awesome ideas on how to make practicing enjoyable. A+++++

Matthew is a truly excellent guitar teacher. Not only is he a complete expert in all elements of playing and musicianship, he was able to respond exactly to my needs and wishes about how to improve my playing. He's patient, clear and also a lot of fun to work with! I give him my highest recommendation and would definitely send anyone who wanted to learn guitar to him for lessons.

Matthew is a skilled, experienced guitar teacher and a sincere, conscientious human being. He listens to my specific musical aspirations and creates engaging practices to help me meet them. Matthew says that guitar practice needs to be fun. His teaching is done in this spirit. I have been studying with Matthew for 7 years and, like my barber and auto mechanic, I am staying with him.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My standard Rate is $50 per hour, but I do have a sliding fee scale, especially for people on disability or fixed incomes. Your first lesson is 1/2 price!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I continue to be a working musician... this ongoing experience informs much of the practical advice I give students.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Learning about music can be challenging, and personal! pick someone who's teaching style sets you at ease and helps you learn comfortably. There is no reason diving into a new skill should make you suffer : )
