Learn the basics whilst having fun with others
​Starts October 26
Back Alley Studio, Balmain
Saturday Mornings 9:45 and 10:45 respectively
4 spots per class, 8 x 45 minute sessions
$277.20 per student
The aim of the class is to introduce basic knowledge of the instrument, learn common open position chords and note names within the first 3 frets on each string.  The course will be based around learning a couple of popular modern songs and traditional tunes, and participants will learn chords, melody and bass lines for each piece.  This course is designed for children who have not played the guitar before.
​
This is a weekly course for 8 weeks, participants are required to attend all classes in the schedule and makeups or refunds for missed classes will not be issued.  Participants are required to bring their own instrument and pick to each class.
Practice material will be provided at the first lesson and subsequent classes as we progress.  Participants are required to practice the material outside of class during their own time in order to progress as quickly as possible.

Welcome To Matt Hurt Music


​Thanks for taking the time to have a look around.

I am a guitarist based in Inner West Sydney and I offer a range of performing and guitar tuition services within Sydney, the Inner West and the surrounding suburbs.

I have been playing the guitar since the age of 7.  I studied music through my education to Bachelor Degree level and have been teaching on a serious note since January 2015.  I first began teaching in Sydney with Five Dock Music School, who unfortunately closed their doors in July 2016.  Since then I have purely been working for myself, as well as spending 6 months working as the contracted guitar teacher at Concord High School.  I currently teach from my harbour side home-based studio in Balmain East.

As a guitar teacher I am fully insured and have my Working With Children Clearance.
This is where to find out more about my guitar tuition services.

As a performer I have played in various original and cover bands.  
My current performing projects consist of a live looping duo with Lauren Day, a Sydney based singer from New Zealand and five piece function band Caramel Sessions.  Both acts play a range of R'n'B, dance, and top 40 hits from the 80s through to current day radio hits.

I am delighted to announce I am now teaching from a new space within Back Alley Studios in Balmain.  All lessons will now take place from this new premises.  It's a great new shared space curated by Emilien Griveau, and I am lucky enough to be one of the first to take up use of the space.  I'm excited to use the space and to see the creativity grow in an around Balmain.  The website is under construction, but will be linked as soon as it's up.
