Matt Hathaway

I am a Traverse City native and I love it here! Some of my favorite things other than playing guitar are family adventures, bonfires, rollerblading and hockey.

I have been playing guitar for 35 years and teaching for 20 years. I have been in countless bands beginning in middle school and continuing now. I also play wedding ceremonies, special events/house parties, local high school musical’s and fundraisers. I have taught students through the NMC music program, the SEEDS music program, Woodland Charter schools, as well as private lessons.

I studied at the National Guitar Summer Workshop when I was a teenager completing their highest level. I received an Associate degree from Northwestern Michigan College. I also attended 2 years at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music focusing on performing classical guitar. I received my Bachelor of Music degree from Oakland University.
