Matt Read B.A.(Hons) Music - Professional Guitar Lessons in Tunbridge Wells

Matt has been teaching our family guitar for over 10 years. His breadth of knowledge and skill is adaptable to all stages of playing and his friendly, laid back but professional approach puts us at ease and makes us feel supported even at the more challenging stages of learning. The transition to online lessons during the Covid-19 lockdowns has been brilliantly handled. His tech set up is really well thought through and adds to the lesson rather than detracts. In particular, the short tutorial films which Matt sends over afterwards are invaluable as a reference back to the lesson. Perhaps to our surprise, were all more than happy to stay online. I certainly wont miss the weekly waits in the car outside Matts house whilst one of the boys has a lesson!

Matt has the knack of making guitar lessons enjoyable while keeping focussed on technique and musicality. He has taught my children since 2011 and through patience, encouragement and dedication, nurtured a love of music and given them a skill for life. Whatever their age or aptitude, Matt will get the best out of his students. Remote learning has been a revelation. Matt has all the kit and technical know-how to make it work really well. Highly recommended! Jono Roberts Son, Elliot

Matt is a brilliant guitar teacher who has really sparked my sons interest and helped him gain confidence with his playing. He was really helpful when we bought a new electric guitar and amp. He is very patient and encouraging with him and his playing has come on in leaps and bounds. During lockdown his zoom lessons were a real highlight of my sons week. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend him!

Matt has given lessons to my son Louie for the last 9 years. Matt is an excellent teacher who obviously loves what he does. His approach is friendly and enthusiastic. He has been able to help Louie with every aspect of music, from playing and setting up his guitar and amps, to configuration of his Production software. Matt has always made lessons fun and has given positive and helpful feedback. The online teaching environment that Matt has invested in is excellent. In many respects it gives a better experience than a face-to-face lesson. We were very lucky to come across Matt when looking for Louies first teacher. Louie will be starting a music A-Level next year and hopes to study music at University. Matt has helped inspire Louies love of playing and creating music. We would not hesitate in recommending Matt.

'We have found a rare gem in Matt and have been so pleased with the progress our son has made even though he only started remotely a short while ago. Matt has a fantastic easy-going manner and lessons are a great mix of hard work and encouragement. We have also loved having videos sent to us when needed as well, helping our son develop great habits from the start. I'd highly recommend!'
