Art’s non-traditional way of teaching is effective because he explains the whys of what you’re doing.

One… (that’s right one) lesson with Art gave me a better foundational understanding than 3 months worth of lessons I had taken with another jazz instructor. Art’s non-traditional way of teaching is effective because he explains the whys of what you’re doing. Mr. Matthews zooms in and gives you a microscopic look into the language of music… unveiling its DNA. This demystifies music; helping to see the relationship between melody and harmony with more clarity. Art is a very patient and enthusiastic teacher who enjoys sharing his many years of experience. For the first time in my 50 plus years I’m being guided towards the path of achieving proficiency.So happy I found him!
