Your Classical Guitar Input Here

Once More with Feeling...

I am trained as a vocalist. As the first instrument known to man I've always felt that the human voice was the most expressive instrument that music has been created for.

My opinion about this changed the first time I heard the classical guitar played by someone. I was immediately struck by the richness of depth, feeling and emotion this instument could convey. It reached, it seemed, deeper into my soul than any other musical experience I had ever known. And although I had never before even considered learning to play an instrument I knew I had to try or I'd never forgive myself.


I took beginer and intermediate Classical Guitar classes from my Alma mater's (Universtity of Utah) College of music. I thuroughly enjoyed this course work but didn't continue playing again until after I'd been out of school for almost 15 years.


So I'm basically starting from scratch all over again. I've since bought an Esteban Acoustic/Electric that I tinker with now and then. I have built a YouTube library of my own Classical Guitar favorites to include Segovia"s Master Classes and personal interviews. I'd say that my favorite composition for this instrument is "Asturias" in many of it's different arrangements.
