About
Due to the rising costs of leads on this platform, I will be raising my guitar lesson prices. Students who find me on this platform will be charged $50 a 1/2 hour and $95 per full hour. ***ALL OF MY LESSONS ARE TAUGHT IN PERSON IN MY STUDIO OR ONLINE USING ZOOM*** Whether you're starting from square one, or you've reached a point where you can't go further on your own, or you would like to sharpen skills you already possess and want to take them to a higher level, I'm your guy. I've helped thousands of students reach their goals and I've shown every single one of them how to have the level of success with their instrument that they've always desired. I have 20+ years with over 20,000 hours of guitar/string instrument teaching experience and a total of 30 years of guitar playing experience with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music. I focus my lessons strictly on the needs and skills required to ensure my students can perform ANY genre of music in front of ANY audience. I have taught various forms and techniques in basically ALL genres of music both past and present. I teach acoustic guitar, electric guitar (6 or 7 string) , classical guitar, jazz guitar, ukulele, bass (5 string), and tenor banjo (Irish tuning). I embrace ALL forms of music and I will always encourage my students to pick out songs that they enjoy to make the lesson rewarding and engaging! I will also provide the student with exercises and drills that will strengthen their core, empowering the student to learn newer songs quicker and easier. I firmly believe I'm the teacher for you for one reason: you will see instant results not only on the first lesson, but also in every lesson moving forward! I also teach students of all ages who have special needs. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME PRIOR TO SIGNING UP FOR LESSONS IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS!

Matt is a great instructor. He has shown me everything I know about playing guitar and music in general. He can play any style of music and tech it to other people. Matt has always be encouraging and supportive no matter what direction I take our lessons. I have been a student of Matt's for 14 years and never considered changing instructors.

As a teenager Matt was my teacher and he did a fantastic job showing me the beginning stages of guitar all the way through experienced. We worked together for a few years and I will always remember those lessons. He was strict with his basics and fundamentals but really wanted you to enjoy what you played and was open to teaching you whatever you wanted along side the traditional fundamentals. Loved taking lessons from him.
