Matthew teaches all styles and levels, but specializes in teaching beginners and children. With eight years of teaching experience, Matt’s goal is to help students have as much fun as possible while they are starting out in order to stay motivated throughout the challenges they’ll encounter in their first year of playing guitar. But while they’re having fun, his students learn the important basics, techniques and theory that they need to progress as a musician. Matthew doesn’t use a set lesson plan as he believes every student needs a lesson catered specifically to their needs and interests. The first thirty minutes will be instruction time and following that Matt will walk around and give individual attention where needed. Private lessons with Matt cost between $40-$50 per lesson, this is an amazing value he is offering to our Adult Community Education program. Guitars will be available for use during class time but you are strongly encouraged to have your own to practice with at home.
