What I Offer
Advanced Players I have an advanced understanding of the basis of the common practices of music theory (as applied in classical, jazz and pop) to nature and psycho-acoustics. This basis really does underlie all we hear and play, and many students find it useful and insightful to know this natural basis for the cultural conventions of music composition and performance (and also to tie it in to ear training if desired). I've refined methods for simplifying eidetic mastery of all the forms of the diatonic and pentatonic scale shapes. I'm experienced in some of the improvisation training methods adopted from the Indian pedagogical tradition by John McLaughlin (Jimmy Page's guitar teacher and leader of the Mahavishnu Orchestra). I'm also a student of the tradition of legendary and pioneering jazz virtuoso Lenny Breau, and am experienced in aspects of the Lenny Breau Style such as harp harmonics and keyboard-style jazz chord-melody playing. Students interested in improvised polyphony (e.g. jazz chord-melody playing) may find one of the uniform tunings very useful. (I currently have online a book-in-progress which compares the methods required for Standard Tuning and the uniform tunings.) |
