Matt - ​Acoustic, Electric, Bass Guitar & Ukulele

Picture
Matt discovered his love for music at a young age, inspired by the magical experience of watching his father and uncles play together. The joy and connection they shared while making music sparked a lifelong fascination. Starting with guitar and bass, Matt first learned from his family before advancing his skills under the guidance of private instructors. This blend of self-discovery and formal training shaped his unique approach to music.

Matt specializes in teaching guitar and bass to students of all ages and skill levels, particularly beginners and intermediate players ranging from 5 to 50 years old. His lessons are known for their supportive, patient, and engaging atmosphere, where students not only learn technique but also build confidence and creativity. He believes that every student has their own musical journey and tailors his teaching methods to meet individual needs, whether that means simplifying concepts for beginners or refining skills for more advanced players.

Drawing inspiration from a wide range of musical influences—such as Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, Prince, and Black Sabbath—Matt brings versatility to his teaching. While jazz forms the foundation of his musical passion, he equally enjoys exploring funk, heavy metal, and blues. His goal is to help students develop their skills while encouraging them to express themselves through the genres that inspire them most.

With a deep appreciation for the transformative power of music education, Matt emphasizes perseverance, exploration, and joy in every lesson. His engaging and adaptable teaching style ensures that each session is not only educational but also a fun and inspiring experience.
