I loved working with Matthew. He brought a lot of enthusiasm and joy to the lessons, which made me feel relaxed and eager to learn. It was an ideal learning environment for me. I appreciated how he followed my interests in whatever path or shape they took.

Matthew is a great teacher and really knows his craft. I’ve been playing guitar for 20 years but he was very helpful in understanding theory and giving me practical tips for practicing better. I recommend him if you want lessons at any level.

Great mentor with lots of knowledge to teach. Check him out, you might find your dreams can come true.
I offer lessons with personalized attention in a comfortable home setting. With over 30 years of experience teaching private guitar lessons I can get you pointed towards that next level with a clear practice routine and a thoughtful explanation. All levels and ages welcome. Flexible scheduling and pricing. I always strive to create a learning environment that feels safe, comfortable, and inspired. It takes a lot of work to get good at an instrument, but it can also be a ton of fun along the way. I have a degree in studio music and jazz from the University of Miami. I spent 25 years as a free-lance musician in the San Francisco bay area. I have toured the world, played thousands of gigs, and worked with some musical legends.
