A few words about myself:
I was never a "natural musician". I worked hard to develop my skills and my career. That's what makes me a good teacher. It never came easy to me so I understand the challenges and the fantastic feeling of achievement.
​
I have a B.A. in Music Ed. from Miami University and studied guitar at Cincinnati Conservatory of Music
​
I have performed around the globe from Prague to Juneau and from Hawaii to Rhode Island.
I am a contributing force in the thriving music scene in Portland, Or.
I've been teaching for more than 25 years and developed innovative curriculums for Artichoke Music School.
A non profit school that reaches at-risk youth in Portland, Or.
Testimonials
Adam N. - After many years of stalling out in the attempt to teach myself to play guitar, working with Adrian gave me confidence and direction for my musical aspirations. I feel lucky to have found Adrian as a teacher and can easily recommend him to others.
Jake P. – “When I moved from Portland to Australia, I was able to continue lessons with Adrian”
​
Natalie T. – “Taking guitar lessons with Adrian has been great. Even though I'd never even picked up a guitar before, he immediately put me at ease and I couldn't help but have fun.”
​
Jim L. – “I’m a senior citizen. Before I met Adrian I occasionally played by myself at home. Now I play in small groups with other amateur musicians. For me, music is now a social activity and a fun way to spend an evening with others.”
​
Ani M. - "It was like a light switching on to help me think outside the box of strum patterns"
