Guitar with Alden H.

Alden has been performing and playing music since he was but a wee lad growing up in Portland, OR. He picked up the guitar at 8 to play Beatles and Elvis songs and never put it down. Since he moved to New York in 2009, he's toured four continents as a singer and guitarist, played guitar on Broadway, toured with a Broadway musical, and played hundreds of theaters and venues worldwide including Irving Plaza, Music Hall of Williamsburg, The Bomb Factory in Houston, and the Joy Theater in New Orleans. As a teacher, Alden has helped students of all ages and levels achieve their goals by custom tailoring lessons to their specific interests and adhering to a firm belief that learning music is only worthwhile if you're having fun. With a degree in jazz studies from NYU, Alden has a rock solid background in music theory, aural comprehension, improvisation, sight reading, and composition techniques that he can bring to students wanting to dive deeper into the foundations of musical forms.
