Overview of Matt’s Teaching Philosophy
Ultimately learning is about discovering who you are as an individual and finding truth. As a teacher of the arts I believe we must learn the rules that man-kind has established only to break them in the name of expressing our deepest selves with an eye (or ear as it were) towards expressing the universal.
As an educator I am interested in providing many view points on a particular concept, be it one in regard to a socio-political outlook or be it about how to play a particular set of chord changes or groove. The learning process is at first a difficult and many times dry intellectual activity but I want my students to take their learning to the point where it sinks down into their core being and becomes charged with deep personal meaning.
