Meet the Teacher

Matthew grew up in Caro, MI where he started playing the guitar at age 14. After finishing high school he moved to Dallas, TX and began studying classical guitar with Carlo Pezzimenti at Brookhaven College School of the Arts and later at Texas Woman’s University in Denton, TX where he received training in classical and jazz guitar, piano, percussion, music theory, choir and orchestral conducting. He began teaching music in 2012 and has worked with children and adults in groups and as individuals.

Matthew is so excited to be part of the UpBeat team and is looking forward to all of the music to be
made and all of the fun to be had!
