Welcome to my page! Much of my teaching focuses on building the fundamentals a student needs to succeed in music's technical and aural aspects. I believe that establishing the fundamentals (instrument anatomy, note reading, proper picking/bowing, ear training) will help build upon the students' later skills that they'll learn. I've been playing violin for roughly 8 years, guitar for about 5, and teaching both for about 4 years to beginner/intermediate students. I am confident in my ability to engage any dedicated or intrigued student with my unique skillset and experience.

Alex G. says, "Hi, My name is Alex! I used to be a student of Matthew’s before he signed on for this site. As one of Matthew’s old students, I can truly say that Matt is a down to earth and very patient guy. He’s very pleased and thrilled to help others learn and was so with me. He taught me how a bass works, how to play, how to stay in rhythm, how to play with others, minor music theory, and he also taught me to have fun with it! And so on from there. Now playing for about three years, I am a lot more comfortable and more skilled to play with others thanks to Matt! I truly recommend him as a good, viable, determined, and dedicated instructor of both bass and music! :) " Read more
