Hi! My name is Jordan. I've lived and breathed music in all its forms my whole life, thanks mostly to my father, who was my guitar teacher and the reason I listen to so much Hendrix. I've been playing guitar for over 12 years, and I've been teaching private lessons for the past 3 years. I started picking up bass two years ago, and I'm in the process of learning piano, too!

In January 2011, I got a job teaching group classes to students at Oquirrh Mountain Charter School in Kaysville. I'm pursuing an AS in Music at SLCC, after which I'll be pursuing my Bachelor's in Music Education at the University of Utah...or Weber. Can't decide.

I offer private guitar lessons tailored to your strengths, weaknesses and goals. Beginner to advanced if you want to improve your playing, I want to help.

I have been involved in music since early childhood, and started playing guitar in my teens. Today guitar is my primary instrument. I can help you play a variety of styles, including but not limited to, Rock of all types, Blues, Jazz, Classical, Fingerstyle, Chord Melody and New Age music. Both electric and acoustic guitar, as well as bass guitar lessons are offered. I have been giving private guitar lessons since 1988 and have performed in numerous rock and blues bands since that time as well.

Currently my live performing act is solo instrumental acoustic guitar in a new age jazz style. Since I am a also a professional performing musician I am able to offer help, insights and assistance in many areas.

I am a recent graduate of Brigham Young University in Media Music Studies with a minor in Portuguese. I am a gigging studio and live musician and an award-winning songwriter with a lot of great recording studio experience. Here's a video of some of my recent work where you can see a good portion of my skill set in action (songwriting, arranging, guitar, singing, and audio and video recording and editing):

I grew up in Portland, OR where I studied jazz and contemporary piano for 12 years. This gave me a solid understanding of theory that I use in every aspect of my musical endeavors. At BYU, I found I excelled in recording technology and songwriting. I won 1st place in the 2008 Utah Pioneer Heritage Arts Songwriting Competition and I helped teach college courses in Songwriting for three years.

In 2009 I toured Scandinavia with BYU's Young Ambassadors, playing bass. Locally I have performed with the Whits, Caleb Blood, Nik...
