    About Duff R.

    Bonita and I met as ministerial students in college. Since graduating, I have served as lead musician, vocal director, conductor at five different churches from California to Washington State. Northwest University in Seattle is where I studied music. Those studies allowed me to grow much in my understanding of all instruments as well as vocals. I have recorded five solo CD’s in my career and performed all over the US, and several other countries. FYI: I have over 40 years teaching experience, which helps me serve you even better! I can identity your learning style in a hurry! When I see each student conclude their weekly lesson with a smile on their face. Many of my vocal students have won numerous awards and lead roles in school plays and competitions. I LOVE teaching music! My wife likes to tell people "whatever abilities God put in the student, Duff can bring it out". We have a recording studio in our home that we make available to students who have lessons lasting an hour or more per week.”

    I enjoyed working seven years with the main stage band, vocalists, choir, media personnel. We also performed many seasonal musicals: Christmas, Easter, and 4th of July. Conducting the orchestras for these events was a wonderful experience. I also mentored young worship leaders.
