About this user
I am a professional classical guitarist and also play jazz guitar. I teach through the Academy of Music at Northwestern College and at the Conservatory of Music at the International School of Minnesota. I also manage my recording studio and am happy to say that I have had the honor to record some world class musicians in world class venues like Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis! Thanks to everyone!
