My Teaching Background
First let me explain a little about my musical background. I have played the guitar since I was 9 years old. At age 14 I began appearing regularly on local live Radio and TV shows on the affiliates of CBS (KOIN) and ABC (KATU) as a guest soloist all during high school. During college I appeared locally on stage as the lead guitarist in traveling shows with Glen Campbell, Buck Owens, Sherri Lewis, Burl Ives, and other shows including the Ice Capades orchestra, Rose Festival Concert orchestra and others. I also was hired at times as a studio musician to record music for TV and radio commercials.
The summer I graduated from PSU I appeared with Della Reese for two weeks at the grand opening of the GreenWood Inn. I also had a full load of guitar and banjo students and I worked full time at Portland Music Company for several years.
In the late 70’s I used my education and transitioned into the “hi-tech” marketing jobs, climbing the corporate ladder at companies like Tektronix, Hewlett-Packard and others --leaving my music behind. After 18 years of that I went into business for myself, running an ad agency for 9 years and then getting my real estate license in 1999.
The nice thing about my work in real estate is the ability to make my own decisions as to how to spend my spare time. I have been fortunate enough to be able to make a good living in real estate with time left over to again pursue my love for music. For the last 7 years I have been studying the violin with Hugh Ewart, the retired CONCERTMASTER of the Oregon Symphony.
My Teaching Philosophy
I am classically trained. I can teach students to read music & understand music theory (if desired) or simply help you learn songs by ear if that's all you want to do.
I prefer students over 10 years of age but willing to make exceptions for the right student. Adult students of any age always welcome. All skill levels and musical interests welcome.
