Matt Robbins
Matt founded E.L. Music after 27 years of teaching and music retail experience. His goal is to bring back the "small store" to the world of music retail. "I want E.L. Music to be the Hub of the music community. I want it to be a place where musicians hangout and buy their instruments. A place where everyone belongs and shares their gift of music with each other."
Matt also went to Leeds Guitar Building School, is a touring musician and does in house repairs. Matt has select openings for private lessons.
