I chanced upon an open house event on Facebook hosted by this studio, offering a free beginner's lesson in cello. Booking was very easy and straightforward and Matt even sent some helpful info to me through email beforehand. Despite me arriving a few minutes late, I got far more than the 30 minute time slot I was promised (probably closer to an hour). Matthew is a very kind and patient cello instructor, and also spoke at length about his method and approach to teaching (he follows the suzuki method).
He teaches both kids and adults, and told me he aims to have group lessons in the future as well. He really seems to make an effort to teach through various angles, not just technique but also understanding music and even just becoming comfortable with the instrument. read more
