What will we learn? My classes are designed for students of all levels: from those who want to seriously delve into their instrument, studying technique, harmony, theory, and reading at a professional level, to those who simply want to improve their knowledge of the instrument they play in their free time. I pay special attention to beginners, regardless of age, ensuring proper finger placement on the instrument, whether it's electric, acoustic, or classical guitar. And... online learning? Yes, it's possible! All you need is a good internet connection and a webcam with a decent microphone (I can help you choose one if you need it). Throughout the classes, I'll share materials and exercises via email, and you can record your practice sessions and send me the videos so I can review them before the class. The pandemic has forced us to find efficient solutions to keep going, and luckily, online music instruction works. And... if you'd like to learn more about the program and how we can adapt it to your needs, just write to me and we can discuss it. I believe that classes should be adapted to the students' interests, level, and time availability, so that they are enjoyable, stress-free, and progressive. Throughout my 25 years of teaching, I have successfully developed what I consider a program of "essential" knowledge for a serious, contemporary musician. My students say about me... Bxxxxxxxx Matteo is a highly qualified teacher who adapts perfectly to the student's style and level. The classes are varied and enjoyable, with a very friendly and trustworthy approach. Good teacher, good person. I recommend him 100%. Pxxxxxxxx He is the teacher I have been looking for for years. He quickly understood what I wanted to learn, and his teaching methods go far beyond what I expected. I sincerely hope that nothing will prevent me from continuing to receive his lessons for a long time, because his contributions are invaluable. Sxxxxxxxx I really like learning with Matteo. He always explains things in a way I can understand, chooses pieces to work on that are both enjoyable and focus on where I need to practice, and takes the time to answer all my questions completely. I'd recommend him to other students. Matteo is an excellent teacher; he prepares his classes very well, is patient, and explains both theory and technique very well. He also has a wealth of resources, publications, and sheet music. In addition, he is a composer and knows a lot about music history. I recommend him to anyone who wants to learn or improve their guitar technique; he is very professional. Mxxxxxx A great teacher with training in many styles, his classes are enjoyable but packed with high-quality content. He is able to adapt to any student's needs and is one of the most complete professionals in Valencia. Totally recommended; you'll even improve your playing posture. 10/10. Cxxxxx Matteo is a great guitar teacher. He's always very prepared for our lessons and is a very experienced guitar teacher and player. The classes are very enjoyable, and I'd highly recommend them. Mxxxxx Fantastic, enjoyable, easy, and varied classes. Matteo pays attention to detail and the student's interests from the very first minute. It's a pleasure to have him as a teacher. Matteo has tremendous knowledge of the guitar and music in general. Not even his modesty can hide it. I observe a great commitment to teaching in him, which is noticeable from the first contact. Matteo is patient and pleasant to work with, and at the same time tenacious when it comes to helping you improve your guitar playing.
Extra information
I have worked as a guitar and music theory teacher for 20 years in Italy, giving private lessons and teaching at three private music schools. I have had the pleasure of teaching students of all ages: young people starting to play guitar (which is why I have always placed great importance on the proper approach to musical study), adults cultivating a passion for music, and students committed to developing professional skills. My training is extensive, including a degree in classical guitar, years of private lessons in rock and jazz guitar, a degree in Philosophy (with a specialization in pedagogy), a diploma in classical composition, and a master's degree in Scoring for Film, Television, and Videogames from Berklee College of Music in Valencia. Furthermore, having lived in Spain for the past six years and studying regularly at the Official Language School, I have acquired more than enough language proficiency to teach effectively.
