Matt Hanna

I have had an amazing experience with Matt's guitar lessons! As a beginner, I only knew 4 basic chords, but Matt allowed me to choose songs I liked and wanted to learn. With his guidance, I gradually became proficient in new chord formations, finger-picking, and strum patterns. Throughout this journey, I even learned music theory! Now, my wife, who is a musician/singer, is thrilled that I can finally play alongside her without any awkward pauses or strange looks. Not only is Matt an exceptional teacher, but he is also a talented composer--a folk song of his is already on my to-learn list! The progress I have made in just over a year has been remarkable, and I am excited to continue learning from Matt in the future.

Enrolling in lessons with Matt has been one of the most enriching experiences of my adult life. It's truly amazing how much progress I've made on the guitar under his guidance, despite having no prior experience with any instrument. Matt is an exceptionally patient teacher who tailors his instruction to suit his students' individual learning styles. As an accomplished guitarist himself, he's capable of adapting any song to the guitar and is always willing to take on new challenges. Matt appreciates that music education is a deeply personal endeavor and teaches with an open mind and without judgement. His lessons provide a safe space for musical exploration and growth. On top of his musical prowess, Matt is a genuinely wonderful person and embodies the ideal music teacher we all wished for as children. Over the past three years, I've been fortunate enough to take affordable lessons with him and am delighted with my newfound artistic abilities. I wholeheartedly recommend giving yourself the gift of music lessons with Matt– you'll be amazed at how rewarding the experience is.

Matt is an excellent teacher, who possesses a kind, laid-back yet organized temperament. He is knowledgeable and provides well-structured lessons, making him an ideal choice for anyone looking to take lessons. You will definitely not regret signing up with Matt!

Matt's teaching skills are exceptional; he is perceptive, composed, but also active in his approach. He made certain to comprehend the type of music I desired to master and structured our sessions accordingly. In just two years, I achieved more progress than I had in fifty years before. I warmly suggest him to anyone who wants to become a great guitarist.
