About Matthew
I am an experienced professional guitarist, vocalist and teacher with a genuine love for sharing music with others. My goal is always to inspire confidence in my students, helping them follow their musical interests and achieve their personal goals. My eclectic musical taste has shaped my experience as both a performer and teacher, allowing me to work confidently across genres such as blues, soul, rock, pop, funk, jazz, and country. I am currently in the final year of my Music BA (Hons) Degree, alongside working as a community musician and teacher, running a project in West Edinburgh and working with East Lothian Councils Art Service. I have experience mentoring students of all ages and abilities — most notably in primary and secondary schools, as well as with additional support needs groups. I am fully PVG checked and insured through the Musicians’ Union, with both Professional Indemnity and Public Liability cover.

My lessons are built around your choices as a student. I believe the most successful learning happens when you’re excited about what you’re learning — so I take the time to learn what inspires you, what your goals are, and how we can make the journey both enjoyable and rewarding. By understanding your musical interests, I can tailor each lesson to keep you progressing while staying motivated and passionate about music. That’s why I offer a free 30-minute consultation. This gives us a chance to get to know each other, chat about your favourite music, discuss your goals, and design a lesson format that works perfectly for you. I offer: + Lessons for students of all ages + Music theory, composition, and songwriting guidance + SQA exam tutoring + A friendly, supportive, student-focused teaching style + Experience within the Scottish music industry + Optional guitar and vocal lessons Whether you’re completely new to the world of music theory or an intermediate instrumentalist looking to level up your songwriting and composition skills, we’ll build a personalised lesson plan that supports your growth and keeps the joy of music at the heart of every session.

Would Highly recommend Matthew. I’ve worked with him on multiple projects and he is a very reliable and knowledgeable person. Always brings a great vibe to a room and just a great person to be around.
Matthew was my student for two years across his honours degree in Music. I teach the Music Education module - Matthew did extremely well within the module - clearly his forte! He is a dedicated and thoughful practitioner considering the needs of each learner. He understands the importance of even the little details.
I have had the privilege of working alongside Matthew when he has been tutoring primary aged children in my school. Having seen his practice first hand, I can confidently share that he has excellent active listening skills, responding to each child as an individual to give them the very best experience. Matthew is kind and caring, with a warm and engaging personality that children and young people positively respond to. I recommend Matthew without hesitation.
I've had the pleasure of working with Matthew for the past few years on several projects and I truly cannot recommend him enough. Not only is he an exceptionally skilled and reliable musician, but he's also a kind, patient and genuinely supportive person. He has all the qualities that make him a wonderful teacher. Since working with him, I've grown so much as a singer and a performer. He's inspiring, encouraging and funny, so lessons with him will never be boring!
I cant reccomend Matthew highly enough as a music tutor. Alongside his skill as both a guitarist and vocalist, he brings a wealth of professionalism and passion for teaching which will benefit students of any level who are looking to improve their skills and confidence.
I have known Matthew for many years and has always been so passionate about music and sharing that passion with others. Matthew is a very well spoken and caring teacher who will take the time and effort if you need it but also understands when to fall back and let you figure out what you need to , all while being very observant and gently couching you through. Having had guitar lessons from Matthew it’s clear the passion he has for sharing his musical knowledge I would truly recommend to any up and coming/ aspiring guitarist.
