About Me

Born in Rapid City, South Dakota, I started taking piano lessons at the age of 6. Since that time, my love for music has grown with each passing day.

I graduated from The Entertainment Career Connection with
a degree in Audio Engineering and Production, where I studied audio mixing, recording, production and mastering. I currently study music education with a goal of reaching a PhD degree.

I am very active in the community volunteering my time as the Event Coordinator for The Denver Creative Movement. In addition, I keep myself busy musically playing in several bands of all types of genres, and writing what I call a "Rock Story"

I continue to follow my life-long passion for music by educating others. I believe that music lessons should be a fun and rewarding experience, and place a high value on learning how to use music in everyday life.

About Me

Robert "Gary" was born in Detroit, started playing guitar at the age of 12, and at 14 began playing bass as well. He has continued to play both for 40 years.
Growing up Gary’s mom was a talented amateur pianist and loved jazz, and his stepfather was a country music DJ so his home was filled with music. Gary’s influences early on included Jazz players like Ray Brown, Jaco Pastorius, Ron Carter, Eddie Gomez, and R&B players like James Jamerson and Chuck Rainey. On guitar Gary was influenced by Pat Metheny, Mike Stern, Joe Pass, and Johnny Smith as well as Bluesmen like B.B. King, Albert King, Buddy Guy and many others. As a kid Gary played in Pop and Rock bands but was lucky enough to have an older friend that worked at a Blues Club in Ft. Lauderdale so he got to listen to a lot of Blues in the early 60's. Being exposed to so many styles and genres of music, it is not surprising that Gary’s musical resume includes, Jazz, Blues, R&B, Oldies, Big Band, Show Tunes and more....

About Me

I have been playing guitar for 25 years. I took formal guitar lessons for seven years, won numerous awards locally and nationally, and grew up playing advanced rock guitar. I went on to study music theory elaborately, and was accepted to both the Berklee School of Music in Boston, and the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles. I decided to start on a musical career immediately, and stayed in the Detroit area. I have written, performed, and recorded everything from indie rock, modern Latin guitar, and traditional Greek music. I have also studied flamenco guitar as a specific genre with a highly respected local teacher. I'm currently involved in my own singer/songwriter project "The Static Dial" of which I write all the songs (music, lyrics, and vocals), and am involved in local promotion for various bands.

I teach very young children (ages 6-8) to all ages of adults. Music samples are available here on my profile.

I'm glad to be on board with the team here at TakeLessons.com and...
