Introduction: **** FOR FASTER RESPONSES PLEASE MESSAGE ME ON INSTAGRAM**** I use a very student centric approach to teaching. Instead of laying out a preset curriculum, I allow my students to choose songs, genres or artists for their own learning material. My instruction will include the fundamentals that are necessary in any style/genre of playing, but I feel that by learning songs my students enjoy they can enjoy the process of learning and feel much more satisfied after they've mastered a concept or tune. As an independent instructor, I offer more personalized instruction that caters to each student's individual learning style. For both my online and in-person students, my instruction comes with additional practice materials that include custom PDF documents with tab and/or staff notation, YouTube links and even custom made videos that summarize the concepts covered in our sessions. I love being able to connect with my students and share my passion for music. As a professional musician, I take pride in seeing my students grow and develop their own artistic voices on their instruments. I offer discounts for my online services, college students who are enrolled in a music program and for students who want to take multiple lessons per week.

Matt is an excellent guitar teacher with plenty of enthusiasm. He’s helping me with fundamental knowledge, explore guitar concepts, at times by using examples of popular music from past and the present. Learning various Guitar playing technique’s has been useful, this allows experimentation, that makes it easier to create something original. Good knowledge of music genres, I get to learn and play with music I feel good playing too, so come away with a sense of achievement.
