Professional Guitarist offering lessons in a range of styles including Rock, Pop, Classical and Jazz

Advert description
I have been playing guitar for over 14 years and in that time have gained lots of experience playing and performing in a wide variety of different genres as both a soloist and in ensembles. While at university I gave 5 solo classical guitar recitals, played in small and large jazz bands on a weekly basis and performed in the band for a musical production.

I help students learn to play whatever style of music they are interested in while also teaching them musicianship and fundamental musical and guitar related skills. I am a classical and jazz guitarist who came to those styles from rock and pop, and I feel this musical background enables me to teach different genres. For each student I will help them work out what their goals are in learning guitar and give them a structured practice plan to aid them in achieving their goals. I can help students work towards grades if they want to, but don’t require it.

Lessons will be conducted via zoom, or I can come to the students house if they're not too far.

Music related qualifications: A level music (A), Trinity Guildhall Classical Guitar Grade 8, ABRSM Piano grade 8, ABRSM Grade 8 Music theory

I’m 65 and I think Matthew has the patience of a saint and the way he explains things really helpful even if for me he has to repeat things to me. His enthusiasm and his obvious passion for the guitar is infectious. I’ve had lessons with a couple of other teachers but I felt they thought I was to old to learn or why would I want to learn at my age, but Matthew makes me feel positive and when I do get things right he seems genuinely pleased for me. If I still had young kids I’d definitely send them to Matthew for lessons.

After many years of trying to teach myself the guitar Matthew has put me straight. His knowledge and experience of both music and playing the guitar is invaluable. His encouragement and calm attitude has helped me to learn the correct methods and enjoy and appreciate the guitar much more. I highly recommend him to teach anyone of any age.

Matthew has been providing guitar lessons for my son Oliver for a few months now. Oliver has very much enjoyed the lessons and always gets a lot out of them. Matthew is highly professional and always arrives on time, is courteous and clearly passionate about his music. It's a joy to watch Oliver grow in his ability to play the guitar and Matthew has been instrumental in that. Thank you, Matthew!
