Music has been the core of my life since I started playing the piano by ear at age 10. I took lessons with a local teacher and played in rock bands through high school. I went to the Berklee School in Boston for 2 years after playing professionally after high school, then transferred to Rutgers University, majoring in Jazz and Classical Piano. While in college I started playing for Dance Classes, which became full time for 10 years. I then moved to NYC, freelancing as a touring and session musician. Now I want to give back what I have learned.

Originally from Toms River, NJ, Matthew is an educator and freelance musician in the Tri-State area. Matthew received a bachelors degree in music education from The Mason Gross School of the Arts (Rutgers University) and is completing his masters degree in music performance at New York University.

He has played with various orchestras in Avery Fischer Hall, Symphony Space, NJPAC, and the Kimmel Center (Philadelphia). He has studied with leaders in oboe performance (Matthew Sullivan, Jonathan Blumenfeld, Nathan Hughes, Geoffrey Burgess) as well as classical and jazz pianists (Karina Bruk, Andy Milne).

Matt lives the Financial District of Manhattan, teaching both at home and on the NYU campus.

"Being an active modern musician who takes International stages, my experiences have kept me centered amongst the trends, scenes and happenings to new music."

My experiences have been far-reaching . I was trained formally as a concertise of the classical guitar. I studied at the Cleveland Music School Settlement and at the Cleveland State University before my sojourn to Vienna, Austria where I was accepted as a student at the Academie for Music and Performing Arts, arriving there at the age of 19, becoming a protege of Luise Walker-Hesjek.

Cited by All About Jazz as a musician with "all the groovy elasticity necessary to encompass the melodic complexity of compositions," Isaac is a strong voice among a new generation of musicians. Discovering a love for the piano, guitar, and bass in his youth, Isaac began performing in coffee shops and jazz clubs at the age of 15, quickly becoming one of the most sought-after young musicians in Westchester County. While still in high school, Isaac had the opportunity to study with jazz legend John Patitucci. Isaac's selection for New York's prestigious All-State Festival came as no surprise.

Hello and welcome to my profile!
I have been teaching guitar for over a decade and love doing it. Before we get into how you can succeed as a guitarist here is a little background about me. I grew up in a small town and began playing guitar at age 12. I was taught a few chords from friends and tried to learn songs from tabs on the Internet. After a couple years I realized the need for formal training, so I began taking classical guitar lessons. I was introduced to formal music instruction and my abilities really blossomed. I became enamored with the guitar, and music as a whole, and decided to pursue music as a profession. I attended University of Colorado at Denver and received a Bachelors in Jazz Guitar performance.
Throughout college I taught guitar in various settings. I developed a weekend guitar program for Aurora Public Schools, conducted jazz clinics at Overland Trail Middle School, and was the Summer Music Director for Mracheck Middle School. I always held a...

I was born in Amsterdam, Holland, where my father worked as an opera singer. While listening to vocal warm-up arpeggios, my mother bounced me on her knee and taught me rhythms and rhymes.

In my family we beatbox, play piano, sing melodies, and are generally just musical. The family moved to the States in 1995 where my parents worked as music teachers. My Dad is a voice professor at the University of Wisconsin, and my Mom runs an amazing music program at Country View Elementary School in Verona, WI.

In the small town of Verona I played in the band program throughout high-school where I had an amazing and demanding music teacher and highly talented friends. The Drumset became my passion and I played, blissfully and recklessly, as often possible.

The band program led me to classical and contemporary music at the University of Wisconsin, where I honed my craft and discovered the profound breadth of music around the world. I worked as a member of the WI Army National...
