My goal is to help you start playing guitar easily and quickly by simplifying the overwhelming confusion of guitar playing. Let me know what you want to get out of playing and we can set achievable goals that will make the learning process fun, interesting, and progress efficiently.
My own passion for music started from a young age and I learned how to play music through attending various schools and training until finally graduating from Harvard. I have signed my own record contract, produced nine albums and performed on countless others. I am currently teaching promising students and am proud to have developed Mia Green's music which is now available on spotify and iTunes. Furthermore, I continue to play more than 100 events every year, in various musical styles including Honky Tonk, Rock, British Invasion, Country and Jazz- where I continue to learn while I teach.
I started teaching almost 15 years ago and have since gained experience through word of mouth and with repeat students, but am eager to take on new ones. Let me show you how easy and fun it is to learn an instrument.
Please note: I provide in-house lessons and I will bring the music to you. I am also available to teach other instruments including bass, drums, and piano, as well as performance and music theory. Lastly, I manage bands for events and parties, and record and produce music. Please don’t hesitate to ask for references.

Matthew is knowledgeable and effective in teaching, while emanating an approachable and encouraging persona. Learning from him feels more like a fun conversation with a band mate, rather than a conventional high school band instructor.

Matthew is an exceptional educator who utilizes captivating songs to initiate class, making the assimilation of knowledge not only effortless but also enjoyable. Despite having prior guitar experience, I yearned to enhance my skills, acquaint myself with diverse genres, refine my techniques, and unravel the music theory behind melodious tunes, all of which I was able to achieve through Matthew's abundance of expertise in these domains and beyond. Thanks to his guidance, I am now a significantly improved guitarist.

I had a fantastic experience with Matthew! His knowledge and support were invaluable, and I felt completely at ease during our recording sessions. He really took my tracks to the next level and I'm excited to work with him again in the future. Plus, the fact that he was able to mix and master everything on the spot was incredibly impressive. I couldn't be happier with the final results and I have Matthew to thank for that!
