Chad A. says, "When I first started taking lessons with Matt, I was struggling with things like bends, smoothly switching chord shapes, and dialing in the right tone. After just over a month of working with him, I can confidently say my playing has improved tremendously. Matt makes every lesson fun and engaging by mixing in different exercises while also teaching you how to play your favorite songs. That balance has helped everything click way faster than when I was practicing on my own. In just one month, I’ve learned more with Matt than I did in almost a full year of self-teaching. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking to seriously improve their guitar skills."See more

Caleb S. says, "I have been playing guitar lightly on and off for 30 years. I have been around guitar enough to somewhat discern talent and skill. When I decided I wanted to start over and learn classical guitar from a professional teacher I went hunting for a great teacher. Before starting lessons with Peter I met with a couple other guitar teachers and gauged them against others I have known. I chose Peter because I found him to be everything I was looking for. Peter is smart. He is both a highly skilled player and a talented teacher. He is dedicated to teaching guitar vs teachers who don’t primarily play guitar or teachers who don’t have any training in guitar pedagogy. Peter is a great communicator in general, which has helped us navigate my complicated schedule and tailor my instruction to my needs and interests. Peter seems to be flexible and realistic with the curriculum he devised for me and the goals we set. Peter has a great personality for teaching. In the journey of developing guitar skill, I think he is a great guide. He knows the art, he knows how to teach it, he knows how to do hard things, how to overcome challenges, and he has a deep trove of experiences to draw from in lessons. My lessons with him have been fun, helpful, and well structured. For the kind of guitar playing I am interested in, my search is over, Peter is a great teacher."See more
