Matthew Roche - Jazz Guitar Lessons

As a passionate teacher Matthew believes strongly in the power of music to enhance students well-being and mental health. He is commited to delivering accessible, practical and engaging guitar lessons to students of all ages and experience.

His teaching philosophy is based on the understanding that music is not just an otherworldly talent that ‘you either have or you don’t’ but something that can be crafted from the ground up.

Matthew is dedicated to giving his students not just a strong understanding of music fundamentals such as chord/scale theory relationships, rhythm/time feel, sound production but also how playing music can greatly relieve tension/anxiety and enhance your own self-awareness.

Due to the physical nature of guitar, Matthew doesn’t have a strict ‘by rote’ approach to navigating the guitar fretboard and is instead more interested in getting students beyond the point of imitating others – the goal is to get them to sound more like themselves.
