About
BLUE MUSE AND SPIRIT
An umbrella site for a number of services I provide in the New York, Seattle, and Florence area. There are two branches of this work focusing on musical instruction and computer tutorials and web design and maintenance.
GUITAR LESSONS AND BLUES EDUCATION
I’ve been playing guitar for 25 years, have an Ethnomusicology Degree with a Minor in Music Theory, and have performed and taught in a number of settings. Blues and music theory are the the focal point in group and individual lessosns. The individual classes are private standard, accoustic and eclectric slide, lap slide, and the 12 Tone Ultra Plus and Fretless Guitars.
The focus of this area of work is The Harmonic Series and how it relates to Musical Temperaments as well as Sound Healing. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Ethnomusicology and have been studying the Harmonic Series intensively for the last 5 years. My interest was raised after I attended a number of workshops and masters classes with David Hykes on “Harmonic Chant”. The last two three years i’ve been studying and playing the 12 Tone Ultra Plus Guitar from Freenote Guitars and developed by the world’s formemost Microtonal Guitar Player, Jon Catler. I recently completed a teaching manual on this instrument.
WEB SERVICES
I also build and maintain websites for local musicians and other organizations. This section has a portfolio of sites that I’ve built and or maintain.
