Hi - my name is Duncan. I teach guitar, bass and music theory. I have been a performer and teacher for over 30 years.
As a performer I have released 6 albums, played on many more, and opened for the likes of James Brown, Parliament Funkadelic, Fishbone, G-Love & Special Sauce and numerous others.
As a teacher I have taught privately and at the same performing arts high school that I attended.
My goal is to provide a strong musical foundation for students and use their interests and goals as the guiding light for our lessons.It all begins with what you want to learn. I craft my lessons around each individual students goals. No cookie cutter programs here. If you want to go through a book, just learn songs or get the full experience it’s all up to you.
Music is a language and I teach it as a second language. You probably learned to talk before you could read and write correct? That’s my take on instruction. I get you listening and playing first, then we approach the theory & analysis.
I teach you to become a musician, not just a guitar player. You will learn concepts that are not only transferable to any instrument, but also to other aspects of your life. I truly believe that the sensitivity, openness, and dedication you cultivate as an artist are skills that will help expand your universe.
