Description
With more than 25 years of musical study, be that in performance, academics, philosophy, psychology, creativity, imagery meditation and overall wellbeing, I teach classical guitar not only to learn to play, but to utilize musical skills as a way of life. By practicing a new ability, we learn more about ourselves than we realize; when playing a musical piece, we are simultaneously self-developing and self-exploring. Doing so with the beautiful sounds of classical guitar increases our motivation to play well, learn to read music, and expand those learning habits to other components in our lives.
Through classical guitar instruction, students not only learn to perform classical pieces from the Renaissance to the contemporary, but benefit from improvement in confidence, memory, coordination, relaxation and extensive motor control.

About the Host
With more than 25 years of musical study, be that in performance, academics, philosophy, psychology, creativity, imagery meditation and overall wellbeing, I strive to explore human potential through the phenomenon that is music. Through GIM (Guided Imagery and Music) I provide meditative sessions where one can tap into the power of music to deepen consciousness, connect to the inner self and illuminate or resolve current life issues. Through classical guitar instruction, students not only learn to perform classical pieces from the Renaissance to the contemporary, but benefit from improvement in confidence, memory, coordination, relaxation and extensive motor control. Through classical guitar performances, clients can sit back, relax, and let their imagination fly to one of the most beautiful sounding instruments. Classical guitar music enthralls the senses, engages the emotions and captivates the intellect through moving and sophisticated performances leaving audiences asking for more.
