Lessons
Guitar lessons are taught from Matt’s studio in Folkestone’s Old High Street. Lessons are available on a weekly, fortnightly or ad-hoc basis.
Each lesson is taught one-to-one and is tailored to the student’s individual ability and learning pace.
Both hour (£30) and half-hour (£17.50) lessons are available.
“Matt is an incredibly skilled guitarist and an even better teacher. His lessons strike the perfect balance of being both fun and educational. Concepts and techniques that once felt off-limits to me (like complex barre chords, arpeggios and playing solos) have now become so much more achievable through his tuition. I especially appreciate how willing he is to tailor his lessons to the music tastes of each of his students. I would highly recommend him.”

“…He is so brilliant with my son who is a typical distracted boy but still manages to engage him, going the extra mile to find music he actually wants to play even down to Eminem! Matt is really down to earth, approachable and changes his teaching style to match his students.
