Love Life - Love Music

Be Inspired By Everything

I have always loved the raw beauty of the guitar. Something magical happens when our fingers, strings & wood come together & create notes; When we put our souls into it they create more than sound & music; Each note is a little creation that is born & speaks of emotions, feelings, love, happiness, sadness. It can bring tears & make someone smile. It can heal pain & bring comfort. That is music! It is a mystery yet we are all very musical it is a universal language & it is at the very core of the created universe! And that is the privilege we get to enjoy when we play music. How can that not be amazing?

A little about me:I consider myself what you'd call a multi instrumentalist as I love to explore & play many instruments and teach a variety of them to a high level. My arrangements & Music has also been featured on Tv for productions such as AMC's " The Walking Dead" TV series.I am a full member of the Musician's union and also have training in child protection in education. I have a Passion for all music regardless of the genre or instrument used.

but then as I started to I explore the raw beauty of the Acoustic guitar i found some of my favourite pieces to listen to and teach have been by Pink Floyd or Simon & Garfunkel or Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, The Beatles & John Denver or fingerstyle artists like Tommy Emmanuel..

I also love just listening to nature and life all around us for inspiration. I believe music is deeply connected to life. Therefore music can be upbeat & happy but can also be slow, soft or sad just as life can be. But whatever we do I believe it should always be fun. This can have a very healing effect on us.

My approach to music reflects this: Music should be an enjoyment and fun always and I try to trigger the creativity which is in everyone!
