About My Teaching Team

Our students generally study with Matthew, the owner and lead teacher, for half of their lesson and with a fellow teacher for the other half of their lesson. This allows for students to have exposure to a broader range of musical training – some teachers specialize in jazz, others in composition, and still others in vocal performance – while also maintaining consistency with Matthew as their lead teacher over the years.

Matthew will monitor and direct all studies and will orchestrate the path of a student to best solidify a personal relationship to music. Because each student’s relationship to music is unique, Matthew will tailor the teacher’s time and instruction to the needs of the student by creating weekly personalized lessons plans for the teacher to use to guide their instruction.
