About Me

I have been studying guitar for over 14 years through my own curiosity, private lessons, and academic instruction. I first started learning and writing songs in junior-high school, which is where my fascination started to grow. Though high school and after college I have performed many different styles and genres, and had the pleasure working with some truly great musicians. It wasn’t until college when I started learning classical guitar technique that I truly grew to love the instrument. Understanding the physiology behind techniques and incorporating music theory lead to a much more satisfying musical experience that I now want to share with others.

Paul W has over 14+ years of music experience in the Chicago area.

Review:

Paul

I have known Paul W. for seven years, first as an undergraduate student with a major in Music Technology with Classical guitar as his principle instrument and later as my Graduate Assistant pursuing a Master’s Degree with a major in performance. His graduate recital testifies to the quality of his performance abilities-which are exceptional. His responsibilities as my assistant were to teach and prepare the first year freshmen for their eventual and necessary progress to sophomore standing. This included his students performing during our twice-monthly recital hour and preparing for final exams at the end of each term. There is no question in my mind that he has a gift of communication and teaching that no other assistant I have had possessed and his students were the most thoroughly prepared. Other responsibilities included conducting two or sometimes three of the classical guitar ensembles and preparing them for performances on our twice-yearly Guitar Ensemble Concert and once again his abilities were without question. His groups always performed very well and it was obvious that each group was well prepared. Paul was always reliable and never late or missed lessons. During his studies with me he was always eager to learn and worked very hard at the tasks at hand. He is also a great person. I recommend him without question. Paul R wrote on Thu, 25 Feb 2016
