Ancillary Services
Ancillary services can deepen the impact an artist has on a community. My community outreach programs broadens the potential market from grade school children to adults with residencies, guitar master classes, workshops and even a short “Economic Impact of the Arts” talk for local service communities – like Rotary.
Residency – A Musical Landscape
Music is the unifying factor that can shed the light of understanding between all cultures. My guitar comes alive in A Musical Landscape as I perform music from Germany, Brazil, and Africa, home of the woods of my 1989 Jeffrey Elliott classical guitar. Weaving through a musical landscape I’ll illustrate the unifying cultural characteristics that blend these countries, and our lives together – just as master luthier Jeffrey Elliott brought together woods from diverse lands together for a homogenous instrumental sound. Length: 50 minutes Ages: K-12
Service Club Talk – Economic Impact of the Arts
Workshop – Right Hand Technique
Every classical guitarist should be focused on proper right hand technique. The lack of a clear understanding of how joints, ligaments, and muscles function in the right hand can limit potential and lead to frustration, declining ability, or even career-ending injuries. This 3 hour lecture demonstration will be taken from my method Primary Skills Development for the Classical Guitarist and will cover positioning as well as right hand movement forms that dominate the classical guitarist’s repertoire. The class is open to a limited number of performers and an unlimited number of auditors. Length: 3 hours Ages: High School-Adult
