About Me

Hi! I'm Matt, and I absolutely love music.
I started playing instruments when I was 7, and music has been guiding my life ever since.
​
It’s been incredibly fulfilling to help kids and adults connect with music, develop their skills, and find joy in every note.
​
Let’s make some music together!



INSTRUMENTS
Choose your path!
Music lessons aren’t just about notes and songs...
They’re a chance to deepen our mind, lift our spirit, and nurture our emotional well-being.
TEACHING APPROACH & PHILOSOPHY​
I teach with playfulness and patience because music should be fun!
Focusing on enjoyment and connection helps students build a positive, stress-free relationship with music. It's all about embracing the process and making music a source of joy, especially at the start of the journey.
​
Beyond skills, music fosters self-expression and growth—valuable tools in a world that can feel overwhelming. Whether or not students pursue music professionally, these lessons nurture confidence, creativity, and connection.
​
Let’s jam, explore, and find your unique musical voice!

TESTIMONIALS
"I like learning from Matt because he lets me choose songs that I like.
He made learning the guitar over zoom easy and fun."
- R.C.
Matt is very patient and always helps me through something if I don't understand it. He is so kind and funny and lets me play almost any song I want. And he is just a great teacher overall!
- A.M.
"Matt is an awesome piano and guitar teacher! We went through severalmusic teachers before finding him, and he ended up teaching our sonboth piano and guitar. He is flexible and has a positive, encouraging,and patient attitude. He was also successful in motivating our son --which is not always easy! He is well organized, and set up
'performances' for our son to showcase his learning to us. Matt is
highly talented, while also being very conscientious and able to work
well with children, youth, or adults. We have recommended him highly
to friends that were very appreciative to have him, and we believe
that he will be an asset in any teaching environment."
S.S.
"Matt is an incredibly patient, creative, and encouraging teacher! My son looked forward to his lessons every week, and it was such a joy to see his creativity blossom! He was so excited when he got to start jamming out to some of his favorite songs!"
B.R.
"Matt is an amazingly warm, enthusiastic, and kind teacher and we can't think of anyone better to teach our boys guitar online! Music is hard to learn virtually for young children, but our kids made significant progress with Matt during the pandemic. He is always introducing fun songs that keeps them very engaged and he gently pushes them to learn. He really connects with children in an enjoyable way. He has also been flexible during difficult times, very punctual and sends us our weekly lesson sheets promptly!"
