Student testimonials:

"It's a rare privilege to be taught by an extraordinarily fine guitarist who is able to connect with his students at a profound musical level. Focused instruction is always supported by wonderful, inspiring insight into why we seek to play in the first place!" -- Richard, architect and inventor, Saint Louis, Missouri

"Matthew Von Doran gives truly complete instruction of not only the guitar but music. After even just one lesson I found myself having several "ah ha" moments as I began to understand my instrument in ways I never had before. Not only is he an amazing instructor, but a truly great guy who cares about his students." -- Blake, church music director, Santa Ana, CA

"Matthew Von Doran's highly effective guitar instruction is only matched by his incredible wealth of knowledge and artistic virtuosity. I recommend Matthew to any player looking to eradicate their boundaries without reservation." -- Raj, performing/recording artist, Orange County, CA

"Matthew Von Doran is a very cool, laid-back, open-minded, dedicated guitar instructor who is eager to aid his students in their quest to improve their skills. I am already seeing improvements both in my knowledge of the fret board, as well as skills necessary to the musician on stage." -- Pamela, student, University of Missouri

"I learned more from Matthew in a year of lessons than my previous years combined! He has the knack of being able to zero in on my playing deficiencies and help correct them to make me a better player. I highly regard his teaching style and equally respect that he is a very talented working musician capable of imparting words of real musical wisdom in every lesson." -- Shaun, investment broker, Los Angeles, CA
