Guitar with Steve D.

*** Travel Equipment *** I expect students to have their own instruments. I have plenty of my own plus sound gear for demonstrations *** Specialties *** I'm classically trained on violin starting at age 9 but switched to upright bass at age 11. I played in many youth symphonies for 11 years. In high school I discovered jazz and started playing in combos. While in high school, my band director required us to have a weekly private lesson. I studied with Lawrence Hurst at Univ. of MIch. He is now head of the string dept. at Indiana U. Recognized as the greatest teaching bass player in the US. I've been playing guitar since age 8 and have a terrific ear....while learning to read music, I also played everything I heard on the radio, TV, etc....I believe in that method....I play in a number of groups...gypsy Django Reinhardt trio, classical pop trio, Broadway shows, rock/pop groups. I own and operate a music business that provides live entertainment for events, weddings, festivals, private parties, etc.
