November 12, 2019Matthew was such a pleasure to work with as the sole musician for our wedding in Nashville. We hired him without a ton of notice before the wedding, and he kindly learned two custom songs to be played as I walked down the aisle and as we exited. They turned out beautifully, and he played an amazing assortment of classical and more modern tunes throughout the rest of the time. Our guests raved about his playing and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere he brought to the mansion setting. He was quickly responsive with any of our questions prior to the wedding day and so helpful. I would honestly trust him to play any event and felt that his musicianship added a lot of value to our day. Thank you, Matthew!

November 26, 2012“Matthew Smith’s playing is simply superb. His command of the instrument, and his appreciation for the repertoire, come through in every performance. We have had the pleasure of hearing him at his Master’s Recital before graduating from the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. On a personal note, he has performed for several social gatherings at our home to the total delight of our friends and guests. If you have the chance, sit down quietly and listen to his music and enjoy.”

During his tenure at Indiana University, Matthew studied under renowned artists Maestro Ernesto Bitetti and Petar Jankovic. He was also an Associate Instructor for beginning guitar.
Matthew developed his craft through various masterclasses, workshops, and festivals.
