I attended the Dick Grove School in the early 1980s. I was enrolled in the guitar program. Russ Tuttle was the main instructor, Dick taught the theory and composition classes At the time I was a singer songwriter living in LA trying to break into the music business. I mainly was a strummer and was technically in way over my head. But I understood the material I am still working on it today. Attending the school was one of the great experiences of my life and today I teach full time because of it
Now I get why you are so knowledgeable and fluent in the language of music...you studied with Dick Grove. That's who Howard Roberts sent students to whose capabilities were above what he had to offer at G.I.T. God bless them both for leading the way in music education.
@UnitedEffect Thank you! Yes thats EXACTLY what happened to me. I studied with Howard back in the mid 70's then went to Berklee in 77, came back in 78 and Howard reccommended Dick so I went over there and talked to Dick for an hour and signed up that day on the spot and remained there for many years until the 80's.
@bitchslapper12 It was popular to name your kid that in America back in the 1920's. Single-syllable names like Dick, Jack, Joe, Jim, Bob, Bill, Clark, Don, Ed, Frank, Gus, Hal, Hank, Harv, Jake, Lou, Moe, Mort, Ned, Nick, Neil, Pat, Paul, Ron, Rick, Rich, Stan, Steve, Stu, Sal, Sol, Ted, Ty, Tom, Vic, Walt, Will, Zeke were some of the most used names right before and during World War II in the USA.

Miss you so much Dick Grove! R.I.P. There will never be another you! Wrote it all down on a small cocktail napkin. Huh?
