Introduction: I have developed my unique solo act through a number of cruise ship contracts, including the Norwegian Jade and Regent Seven Seas Mariner. My setlist includes songs ranging from jazz and classical to contemporary and classic rock. Through the use of my loop pedal or fingerstyle, I give each song a unique flair by playing both the melody and harmony on guitar. As an instructor, I have two and a half years of teaching experience through my position as a guitar/bass instructor at Matt Burk Music Studio in Allen, TX. I teach all ages and skill levels, along with music theory and composition. As a performer, I have played in multiple cover bands and original projects around the Dallas/Ft. Worth area after graduating with a BA in Music from the University of North Texas in 2014. Performing and teaching music has been the focus of my life since graduating high school in 2010. There is nothing else that brings me more joy than making audiences and students happy.

As an adult learning guitar for the first time, Matt was the ideal instructor for me. He took the time to understand my goals and interests and quickly enabled me to begin playing my favorite songs. He also blended in just the right mix of music theory instruction so that I could understand the structure of the music as well. I highly recommend Matt as a guitar instructor, whether you are young or old, a novice or experienced!

In my experience, Matt is unparalleled in the professionalism and expertise he displays with every lesson. The following are reasons why Matt should be hired over any other tutor: Knowledge and Expertise - With his degree, he is able to cover a broad variety of topics and play styles. For example, I expressed my desire for more intermediate to advanced lessons, so we have been covering topics of Music Theory such as Modes, musical composition, and Arpeggio. He always knows how to pace the class well, as well as provides various study materials to help with solo practice. Broad Range - While he specializes in Jazz, he is also very well versed in many other genres such as but not limited to Blues, Rock, Metal, Alternative, Classical, etc. He also knows how to uniquely blend one style into another, so he would be a great choice for anyone looking for help in their own unique sound. Punctuality and Flexibility - Matt has never been late. Ever. He is also very understanding and accommodating to schedule changes. Wow Factor - He plays the guitar so well that my cat just sits and watches him during our lessons. I highly recommend Matt as your next tutor, as I am certain he is not capable of disappointing anyone. He is the perfect choice for both novices looking to learn from scratch, or professionals looking to develop their knowledge of music theory.
