Jordan - Teacher of the Month - August 19

August 12, 2019

Jordan MainGuitar, Piano, Music Production and Explore instructor Jordan is our Teacher of the Month for August! Here's a Q and A with Jordan:

What kind of music do you like to play?

"I would say my absolute favorite stuff to play is anything with a either a folksy or jazzy feel on acoustic guitar. I have a lot of fun mixing genres and playing around with lyrics."

How did you get into music?

"I started guitar lessons when I started middle school. I remember being really frustrated by how tough guitar was starting out, but I kept at it, fell in love with playing and performing, and here I am, enjoying it more than ever 13 years later!"

What's your favorite thing about being a teacher?

"I enjoy bouncing ideas around with my students. Everyone has different tastes and goals in music, and it's always a lot of fun to try something new or help a student find their own unique way to cover song."

Any advice for aspiring musicians out there?

"Never stop learning and keep pushing yourself. Sometimes music can be as difficult of a job as anything else out there. Sometimes it can feel like you aren't getting anywhere. Those are the times where you need to work your hardest, and each time, you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish."
