About this pro
My teaching method is patient and encouraging. This is combined with thouroghness in learning Theory, Technique, Note spelling and ability to play musical pieces. If a student who wants to sing we can do that as well. For anyone who wants to perform, Recital preparation is available. My great joy is to see each student accomplish each goal.
Connecting with each student in a way that I am able to help them not only to learn to play their chosen instrument, but to help them overcome any physical or mental obstacle.
I have been teaching Guitar, Ukulele, Piano, Clarinet, Saxophone, and Trumpet 16 years.. I am a Concert Band Director.
My education is in formal music courses and private lessons in the University. I earned a Bachelor's degree at Antioch University.
Too, I have been playing professionally for 30 years.

Mr Ken has been my sons piano teacher for over a year now. My son started lessons at age 5 and just turned 7. He has performed in multiple recitals that Mr. Ken has registered him in. I am pleased how much he has learned. Bonus: Mr Ken brings our dogs a treat every time he comes over. Hes a very nice, caring man.

My daughter, Cassandra found Mr KennyMatthew through Groupon and since then she has been learning piano with teacher for 3 years now. Teacher was always helpful and very patience with her. He taught her using the PrepCourse books and was very thorough and wash to understand from each book Cassie learned a lot from his teaching skills. Overall, Cassie had a great experience learning how to play the piano and she fell in love with it too. She enjoyed the recitals every now and then it gave her the opportunity to perform and be confident in front of the public. I would highly recommend KennyMathewsMusic C to everyone! Thank you so much teacher for your passion and everything that you do. Sincerely, Vivian Kettenbach

Ken is so in tune with Nathan's interests and how he learns. He takes the time to listen to the types of music Nathan likes to play. He also focuses on his technical accuracy. I recommend Ken to any parent who wants their child to grow in the saxophone, guitar, piano, ukele and several other instruments. Ken is a concert band teacher.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
For new students, I teach step by step at each student's ability for the student to absorb the fundamentals. This aspect is ongoing. Supplemental pieces of music are introduced then to expand the students' ability and enjoyment. Preparation for Recitals is offered. Recital pieces are more deeply developed.
