A great musician does not necessarily make a great teacher.

But a great teacher will make great musicians!

We believe a great teacher must be able to:

Know what they are talking about and have real world experience.
Communicate at the student’s level.
Be patient and understanding of the student.
Inspire and challenge their students to greater heights.

Our teaching staff have been carefully selected with these four criteria in mind. We have a policy that if we do not have a qualified teacher for a particular instrument we will not offer lessons for that instrument. No student teachers, no guitar teachers teaching drums etc. Only the best teacher for the right job.

For a casual guitar player it’s fantastic to be able to enjoy learning in a relaxed setting where understanding is given to my work and family commitments. Matt is an all-round good guy, a great teacher and provides a fun safe comfortable environment.

Justin Elton

Learning from Matt has been a turning point in my guitar playing. His knowledge and background on guitar has not only taught me integral techniques of playing, but also (through being personal and relatable) has allowed me to develop my own style, and to then build on that.

Joanna Holmwood

“Matt has had a huge impact on my life as a musician. Not only is he one of the best players that I’ve ever seen – but his patience, innovation and eclectic taste make him the best teacher that you could ever hope for.”

Daniel Lochens

Lead Guitarist , Urbanlife Church band

“I would not be playing guitar today if it wasn’t for Matt Favelle. He helped me connect the dots between musical theory and what I was playing”

Joel Howard

Singer songwritter

Our son was being taught Bass but had become bored and was not motivated. Getting him to practice was hard, his interest was all but gone and he was at the point of giving up. A friend suggested we try Menai Guitar and so we did. What a breath of fresh air! Matt is a fantastic teacher and very astute in connecting with children around learning music – weaving practical and theory seamlessly together in an enjoyable way.

Greham & Carla Robinson

At Menai Guitar School we run annual performance nights as well as finding other opportunities for our students to enjoy playing on stage.
