Bio
My name is Matt Kennedy and I am a working musician and guitar tutor.
I specialise in contemporary music and design acoustic guitar, electric guitar and ukulele lessons that are both enjoyable and achievable for students of all levels, helping them build confidence and reach outstanding results across a variety of genres.
I also offer children’s guitar lessons, usually on classical guitar or ukulele. It is a fun and structured learning environment that helps young people develop coordination, rhythm, and a love for music.
I hold a Level 6 Diploma in Performance Music (2016) and a Bachelor of Arts (2024). As a working musician, I’ve played lead electric guitar for the reggae-fusion band Horizone, performed in rock, funk, blues, and acoustic cover bands, and written and recorded my own original music. This real-world experience allows me to teach practical, enjoyable and relevant skills that students can use in the music they love.
If you’re searching for ‘guitar teachers near me,’ ‘guitar lessons near me,’ or for a reliable guitar tutor in Christchurch, I can help you or your child grow into a confident and capable musician.

Teaching Info
My lessons are tailored to each student’s age, skill level, and musical interests. I can teach you the songs you enjoy while incorporating useful theory and exercises to help you become a stronger guitarist. I take the time to get to know my students, discuss their goals, and create an approach that builds on their strengths.
