Zoe, Bass Guitar
"Through my lessons with Matt, I went from not even knowing how to hold a bass, to being able to play through a new piece with a jazz band. Matt taught me basics like fingerings, note patterns, and rhythms. He also taught me more complicated things like proper technique, knowing when to shift, and different playing styles. I’m so grateful for all Matt has taught me. Thanks to him, I’ve come a long way!"
Richard, Guitar
"Matt Greisen is a guitar teacher for earnest guitar students. His teaching style is direct and always to the point. He has helped my understanding of the instrument and the basic theory needed in truly impressive ways. I recommend him to anyone who wants to pick up the guitar regardless of their favorite genres. His approach is jazz, but that is not a limitation to what you can do with his method. He suits his teaching style to every student’s needs. I am very grateful for having Matt Greisen as my guitar teacher."

Jackie, Guitar
"Matt is an awesome guitar teacher. I came to guitar lessons with some background in music, and Matt has been great about customizing my lessons to exactly what I want to learn - finger picking, music theory, and playing guitar while singing. His knowledge spans genres and techniques, and he has the unique ability to pick out what is going to help each student most."

"I’ve been doing electric guitar lessons with Matt for a little over 4 years and he’s always been supportive and helpful.
He’s very flexible and lets me pick songs that I want to learn. I like doing lessons with Matt because he is very knowledgeable about music and every time I do a lesson with him, I learn something new."
Alex, Guitar
"Learning with Matt has helped me make the biggest leap forward at any point in my guitar playing. His professionalism and enthusiasm for teaching have pushed me to keep learning guitar. With Matt’s encouragement and individually tailored lessons, I have been able to refine my technique and have felt more comfortable playing than ever."
Trevin, Guitar
"Before taking lessons from Matt, I could learn basic riffs and chord progressions on the internet, but Matt taught me how to use the guitar as a way to express myself and connect with other people. He taught me how to view the fret board as navigable terrain rather than a series of lines and dots, and helped me to imbue every note with purpose and passion. Matt not only taught me how to improve my technical abilities and understanding of theory, but also nurtured my love of playing, which had me excited to come to practice every week and play on my own in my free time."
Jakob, Guitar
“Matt is a fantastic guitar teacher. I came to him with specific songs and techniques I wanted to learn and he was able to show me very quickly the best way to go about them and got me playing them in no time. He’s super flexible and can always cater towards specific things people want to learn. Matt is a great dude and I’d highly recommend him!”
