Jim Templeton--pianist, clinician, and teacher--graduated in music from Washington State University, and holds a Masters Degree in piano from Louisiana State University. He has taught at half a dozen colleges, universities, and conservatories both in the USA, and in Denmark, where he resided for 16 years. He holds various honors, including Phi Beta Kappa, and was awarded the 1993 Washington State Artist Trust Grant, ($5000), for one of his original jazz compositions.
Jim can be heard playing jazz piano--or vibraphone--throughout the northwest states, and travels extensively, teaching chord piano to students of all ages.
I'm an old friend, and former student of Jim's. I've lost contact though. Did some searching on the Internet and it looks like he might do some playing in Portland and teaches out of Vancouver, WA
Jim has been based in Vancouver, Washington for a number of years.
