“Matthew has been teaching me for more than 5 years now, since I was 8 years old. His lessons are fun, interactive, and he is always very kind. He makes sure you know what to do in a friendly, helpful manner and I have thoroughly enjoyed learning guitar and piano with him over the years. I highly recommend Matthew if you are looking to or already play guitar or piano as he is a great teacher and a very kind person.”

“Matt is a great online teacher. He is really attentive to the issues in my playing, and always looking to offer targeted video advice and feedback. He constantly enriches his teaching with backing tracks, improvisations and sight-reading exercises. It’s a pleasure to be taught by someone who is knowledgeable, encouraging – and very patient!”

“Matthew has been my daughter’s piano teacher since April 2015. His various teaching methods work wonderfully despite her sight disability and the occasional hearing impairment, ensuring an enjoyable learning experience. He teaches with patience and highly capable of transferring his musical skills and knowledge to his students.”
