Description

Matthew Pendrick is a Decatur native and lifelong musician with 15 years of experience sharing his love of music with students of all ages.

He taught extensively at the Friends School for over 5 years before taking a brief hiatus, during which time he traveled the country as performing musician, entertaining crowds from coast to coast.

Matthew’s teaching philosophy centers the idea that that we are all innately creative and music is another of our natural modes of expression. Just as there is no one way of speaking, there are many valid approaches to playing music. Matthew employs an individualized approach with each student to focus on their personal interests and learning style .

At this time, Matthew will be offering lessons on guitar, ukulele and drums. Lessons will be taught Tuesday - Friday from 3:30 PM - 6 PM. Each lesson will be 30 minutes long. Lessons will be scheduled as a block, in quarterly sessions.

If interested in scheduling, please include your 1st, 2nd and 3rd preferences for a time slot. Matthew will also include information on choosing an appropriate instrument for your needs. Please reach out with any questions to mjpendrick@gmail.com

Students are collected from Extended Day (Aftercare) by club instructors and then brought back to Extended Day when the club is over. Parents/Caregivers pick their children up from the gym.

Extended Day is included in the club price before the club begins. You will be charged for Extended Day if you do not promptly pick your child up when the club ends or if your child remains until 6:00 pm. There is a five minute grace period after which you will be charged for Extended Day. The fee for a late pick up or a child remaining in Extended Day is half the price of Extended Day.

Please note that clubs are non-refundable. Late registration requests are not guaranteed. Please email Miriam with late registration requests (marensberg@friendsschoolatlanta.org) after registration has closed.

Switching clubs is also not guaranteed. It is important that you register before the deadline for instructors to plan for the number of students registered, rosters to be formed, and club spaces to be assigned. Students may not switch clubs after the 2nd class.

Club Instructors do their best to get a substitute when they cannot attend their club. However, there are times when an instructor must cancel. You will be notified as soon as possible if a club cancels and a rescheduled time will be planned.
