    About George C.

    Hi, I'm George Colligan! I'm from Columbia, MD. I lived in NYC for 15 years as a freelance jazz artist. I have been living in Portland, OR for 9 years. I am an Associate Professor at Portland State University. I love to teach students of all levels. Music is my life and I believe in sharing information. Music and Art are noble and valuable pursuits. I want to help students achieve their goals. I'm open to all styles of music. I also have insight in to how to avoid injury and how to play pain free, which is a common issue among all instrumentalists. I look forward to teaching you!
