Multi Instrumentalist and composer Matt G, a native New Yorker, has been on the NYC jazz scene since 1997. After taking an interest in music at an early age, his path eventually led him to jazz and improvization. He cultivated the necessary tools to become a professional musician at The Purchase Conservatory of Music and has since shared the stage with jazz luminaries such as Adam Nussbaum, Andy Laverne, Todd Coolman, Ray Vega, Jon Cowherd, and the last Dennis Irwin. Matt's debut album "Familiar Places" garnered critical acclaim and peaked at #13 on the CMJ Jazz Radio Chart. "Blood Songs", Garrison's sophomore record, was released in May of 2012 and has already received glowing reviews.
I have been teaching privately in the New York Metropolitan area since 2000.
I don't subscribe to any particular method of teaching. I try to conform to the idiosyncracies of each individual student and exploit their weaknesses and build on their strengths.
I am very laid back and try to make the lessons as much fun as possible all the while laying a solid foundation of music theory and instrument fundementals.
