Retired Professor of Education, Dr. Jerry G. has performed as a musician and vocalist full-time for over 50 years and currently performs around Colorado. Dr. J. has a wide-range of unique experience with a background as a 5th degree master of Taekwondo and 5-time national medalist, acting experience on stage and screen, a private pilot and a member of MENSA. While serving as a tenured professor of instructional technology, he also guided graduate research programs and cognitive psychology in educational computing. He has served on editorial boards, boards of directors and is a widely published author.

Dr. J. has over 50 years of performance in virtually every sort of venue and for every sort of audience. His background and experience is extensive and his work continues today.

Dr. G. is well-read and essentially self-taught in the specific discipline of American History education. He has expanded his undergraduate studies in American History with its inevitable focus on pre-revolutionary war colonies and post-Civil War reconstruction period to include extensive reading of wars, industrial development and post-WWII modern society. This hobby of American History study is important for all young people in America today.

Musical teaching is ideal in his own recording studio with state-of-the-art equipment. Dr. G. had extensive study as an undergraduate in Music Theory at Rowan State University with a focus in classical music theory. The inclusion of music theory, is fundamental and vital for the study of anything and everything in music including drumming and percussion, piano and vocals. Dr. J. has the professional experience and understanding of educational methodology to help any interested student reach their goals.

Music History

Music History

My formal study, described above, included significant examination of the origins of early instruments, classical styles from the Baroque period with J.S.Bach, through the classical with Mozart and Beethoven, to the Romantic with Chopin, Wagner, and Brahms. 20th century study is clearly more hands-on and personal for me as I have been a full-time professional for 55 years. I am very familiar with pop artists of 1953-2020, from Chuck Berry & McCartney to George Strait & Garth - and from Sinatra to Carole Kaye's studio work - as well as earlier foundational artists including the big band swing era (The Duke, Benny Goodman, Miller, Gene Krupa - and R&B artists like Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Little Walter and more).
Music Theory

Music Theory

I was a Theory & Composition major as an undergraduate in college for several years. While my B.A. is in another field, my minor is in Music Theory.
Piano

Piano

While I perform mostly as a drummer, I have keyboard experience back to 1969 where I was doing 10 shows per week on keyboard. I have performed full-time for >50 yrs often on keyboard. This and the formal study of music theory more than qualify me for beginner levels teaching piano.
