Over the Summer I started teaching a classical guitar ensemble class at Ear Craft Music. We are giving a concert this weekend so I urge you to come by and check us out this Sunday from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM at Ear Craft Music.

I am so proud of my students, some of whom have been playing guitar for less than a year. They have worked very hard to bring this music to the public, and I couldn’t be more impressed by the result.

I was hanging with my friend, John Natale, and he was going on and on and on about how he thought Boston had the best music scene in the country. John is one of those . . . → Read More: Classical Guitar Cabaret! My YouTube channel turned 1 year old on April 1st of last month I am proud of the 12 videos I managed to get done in that time.
