I'm the Classical guitarist on the Artist Faculty at The College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA. I have played musical venues from weddings and receptions, restaurants (Williamsburg Inn)parties, corporate events, concerts-both solo and ensembles, and touring broadway shows at Chrysler Hall in Norfolk and with the Virginia Symphony. My repertoire ranges from classical, jazz, pop music, Bossa Nova, to special songs for weddings and parties.I have several CD's and samples from CD baby and from my web site. I can help make your event memorable.
Tim was a great player but more importantly a great teacher. Mostly really taught you how to practice. Keeping a log, scheduling all the things that go into building your technique and repertoire. Missed his motivation when he left. Glad he's doing well!
