About
Wesley is a musician and educator within the Phoenix metro area, teaching both in classroom and private settings. He currently teaches middle and junior high school music in a charter school setting in addition to private lessons with students of all ages and experiences. Wesley graduated from the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music with a Masters in classical guitar performance. Prior to his Masters studies, he completed a Bachelor of Music at Grand Valley State University and an Associates of Music at Grand Rapids Community College. Wesley has won multiple scholarships and awards at several institutions including a Graduate Assistantship for his Masters degree. He has participated in multiple workshops, festivals, and competitions including masterclasses with internationally acclaimed guitarists such as Oscar Ghilia and Andrew Zohn. While not playing guitar or teaching, Wesley enjoys mountain biking, hiking and spending time with friends.
Above all, I believe students should be interested and invested in the work they invest in private lessons. I strongly encourage students to have an idea of what types of music/genres they are hoping to learn and play. That said, I seek to give every student the tools they need to begin their own musical journey and personal study, independent of an instructor.
Through our lessons, you will study several skills and techniques that will help you develop a well rounded knowledge and experience of music. We will study a variety of topics including: music theory, music history, music appreciation and music performance in conjunction with our instrumental studies. I strongly believe in developing a wide range of techniques in instrumental study so that you can become a self learner in your musical studies. Thank you for your time and considerations, I hope to help you achieve your musical goals.
