My husband just did his first harmonica lesson. He said he had so much fun playing the harmonica as Matthew played the guitar. Next visit, the banjo and harmonica. :)

Matthews slogan is, Learn to Play Guitar the Fun Way! That says it all! Students are motivated to play because they do the music they like. Matthew brings patience, positive energy, and enthusiasm to each lesson. The cost of his lessons are very reasonable. I highly recommend Matthew Dodd as a guitar teacher.
