Introduction: Hi! I'm Matt and I want to teach YOU and your family members how to play guitar! I have toured the world with star artists such as Hunter Hayes and Mickey Guyton and am currently teaching virtually from my home studio, and in person here in Nashville, Tennessee. With more than a decade of professional music instruction and performance experience, I have the tools and energy to make learning music fun and purposeful for all students! My students have gone on to attend Berklee College of Music, record and release albums of original music, and win numerous Battle of the Bands competitions against other student bands. It is inspiring to watch students grow musically and develop their natural talents in a fun atmosphere! I love igniting that spark in students that creates a lifetime of love and appreciation for music.

Only had one lesson so far but I have found Matt communicative and professional. He kept things on track, didn't waste a moment and gave my grandson a full hour's worth of valuable instruction. Very pleased so far.

I think it would be hard to find a more supportive, committed, and student-centered music mentor than Matt. He "gets" kids and he knows how to be empathetic when needed, or when to push kids to grow. In terms of musicianship, Matt is top-notch. A sought-after professional guitarist player who studied at Berklee, he's also done vocals professionally, as well as percussion and keys. Besides being coached by Matt in her band, our daughter worked with him to produce both individual recording sessions and an EP. In all cases, it was Matt who did the sound production, but he also helped her launch and market her product. In a word, Matt knows the process like the back of his hand, from songwriting to recording to live performance, all the while never losing focus on the kids and their needs. The best!

Matt is a talented and knowledgeable instructor. Even more importantly, though, he is authentically engaged, and inspirational in his dedication to his art. His flexibility and low-key demeanor are a perfect match for my teenage son.

Matt taught each of our boys' (ages 9 and 11) rock band for almost 2 years and he was awesome!! The older one's band won their battle of the bands 2 years running, and it was all because of Matt. He pushed them musically, while allowing them to be fun, goofy boys. They were so sad to see him relocate. If you have the chance to work with Matt, you owe it to your kid to do so.
