Hi! I'm Matt, and I LOVE music. I started playing instruments when I was 7 years old and music has been guiding my life ever since! To be able to help you or your child develop musicianship and have fun learning an instrument puts a smile on my face everyday.

TEACHING APPROACH & PHILOSOPHY
I approach teaching the lessons with an emphasis on playfulness and patience. Music is suppose to be fun!
By emphasizing enjoyment and connection in the lessons, students will build a pleasurable association with music and look forward to our weekly meetings. It is crucial that students embrace the musical development process with a fun attitude, and stay clear of dread or nervousness for each weekly session. This is especially important in the beginning when we are just getting the hang of playing our instrument.
The "real world" skills associated with developing musicianship have long been understood as extremely relevant. Even if students don't go on to become professional musicians, the skills they learn and cultivate will be absolutely invaluable.
The world we live in today can be difficult to grow up in! Finding identity and purposefulness can be a challenge. Cultivating musicianship is a practice of self-expression and exploration, which can sometimes be lost in the academic classroom settings.
Music helps us grow and connect, and we get to jam our favorite songs while we do it!!
