About Me

My musical journey started at a young age, inspired by my father's singing and guitar playing that filled our home. I picked up the guitar as soon as I could, learning from him and later taking private lessons. As I developed my skills, music became more than just a practice; it became a powerful way for me to express myself.

This passion led me to pursue a degree in Jazz Studies at Western Connecticut State University (WCSU), where I earned my Bachelor's in Jazz Studies for guitar in 2017. I had the opportunity to study under amazing musicians and educators like Chris Morrison, Kenny Wessel, and Jimmy Green.

Lessons at Matthew Alexander Music

Fun is at the foundation of my teaching philosophy. I believe that while my students are mastering foundational techniques such as reading, pitch, rhythm, and repertoire, it is crucial to find ways to make the exercises relatable and fun. I often achieve this with games and visual learning. My ultimate goal is for every student to leave their lessons thinking about how fun music is. Offering in-home lessons means I travel to your home for 30-minute or 60-minute weekly sessions. During these lessons, I provide all the necessary equipment, including music stands, instruments, and amplifiers, ensuring a comfortable and engaging learning environment.
