About

Growing up I was a mostly self-taught musician then later received my music degree at Bennington College. Because of those two experiences I understand the drive to learn using songs you love, but also the advantages to formal theory and technique. Over the years since, I've used that approach to teach a variety of students with lots of different tastes the songs they love. Here is a list of some of the musicians whose music students of mine have chosen to learn. Maybe I can teach you something you love and I can add a new musician to my list! The Acorn Alannis Morissette Alexi Murdoch Alison Krauss Andrew Bird Arctic Monkeys Bad Bad Hats The Band Band of Horses Bastille The Beatles Beach House The Black Keys Blind Faith Bob Dylan Bob Marley Boy Genius Brandi Carlisle Bright Eyes Buddy Holly Cat Stevens City and Colour The Civil Wars Couer de Pirate Creedence Clearwater Revival Coldplay Dan + Shay Dave Van Ronk David Gray Deb Talen Doc Watson Donna the Buffalo Duncan Sheik Ed Sheeran Edward Sharpe The Faces Feist Fionn Regan First Aid Kit Fleetwood Mac Foo Fighters Frankie Valli Frightened Rabbit Gillian Welch Hall and Oates The Head and the Heart Ingrid Michaelson Iron and Wine Jack Johnson Jason Mraz Jay Ungar Jeff Buckley Jewel John Legend John Mayer Johnny Flynn Jon Foreman Joni Mitchell Josh Ritter Julien Baker Katie Armiger Keith Richards Kevin Devine Kishi Bashi The Kooks Lenny Kravitz The Lonely Heartstring Band Louane Lucius Luke Bryan The Lumineers Magic!

    Guitar lessons with Matt have been awesome! I started off as a beginner, only knowing about 4 basic chords. Matt let me pick songs I liked and wanted to learn. Gradually, I was able to play new chord formations, finger-picking and strum patterns while learning some music theory along the way! Even my musician/singer wife is thrilled that I can finally play well enough for her to sing along without awkward pauses and funny looks! Matt is also a great composer and one of his folk songs is already on my to-learn list. The progress I made in just over a year has been amazing!

    Frequently asked questions

    I have a first free session where I get to know the person, their personality, musical taste, and experience on the instrument. Then I make a plan for the next week to start working on songs they already know and enjoy, tailored to their skill level.
    I have a degree in composition and piano performance from Bennington College. Since then, I've picked up guitar and played in numerous projects and various settings from classical to pop to folk from rock venues to art galleries to weddings. I've been teaching adults to play guitar using the music they like (not going through full books) since 2010.

    I'm very flexible with my pricing to match individual situations so contact me if you're intrested. I also offer a free first session to talk about your experience, what you're looking for, and try out a few things on the instrument.
