guitar I have been playing the guitar for over 25 years. I have studied both classical and jazz guitar styles and specialize in finger style chord/melody arrangements. I also work with jazz vocalists as an accompanist. music theory I have a Master's Degree in music from Portland State University. While a graduate student there, I taught a music theory class for people who did not even play an instrument. I developed a method of teaching music theory at its most basic and understandable level and even had music majors take my class to help them understand the basics of the more advanced classes that they were taking. trumpet I have been studying and playing the trumpet for 40 years. I have a Master's Degree in Music and have been teaching for the last 25 years. I play professionally with three different bands in the Portland area.
