An Artist's Life

learning what the student wants, then molding that with the instrument to become one with music.  inevitably turning into an artist.  not all students want the same thing.  some take the pencil and know they want to create.  creation takes direction to prevent the standardized manipulation of our society.  artistry is complex in it's balance of self and awareness. 

grew up in the musical world.  i taught myself, my father taught himself.  i went to roberto-venn in 2009.  i now play 4 instruments and can write a song on anything i pick up. 

i'm hardly worried about it, and if you are, then maybe i'm just not your type of person? 

i taught myself.  why not share my methods. 

creative types, free thinkers, people that like philosopher without the guidance of taught philosophical students. 

you can be told what music is.  you can meet the teacher that will learn you all sorts of methods.  but are they really you or yours?  we are all taught to speak english, but few can express themselves with the language.  so we learn to find new words, and make new words to express situations, emotions, and events.  the standard teacher will teach you how to repeat history.  i start from a perspective that directs in the artform of music.  you can be like others or you can start to be like yourself.  of course, my method will disassociate you with the standard musician out there.  you will feel foreign at first, and wonder what and why you are doing this.  but as a artist knows, its all about their work on the paper/canvas of life.. so too is the artist of music. 

what outcome are you planning on?  

where are you wanting to take your hands, fingers, mind, and heart?  

why do you want to play a guitar?

what is in it for you?

what is in it for the rest of us?
