Private Lessons with Jordin
Jordin
Jordin began learning guitar at Allegro in 2017 and it sparked a love for music which would lead him to pursue his music degree at Pima Community College which he received his associate degree in music from. Jordin is now a part of the Bolton Guitar Studies studio at The Fred Fox School of Music at the University of Arizona where he is pursuing his bachelor's in music. During his time at PCC he toured with the Pima Community College Guitar Orchestra with momentous presentations in Nogales, Sonora, and in a Tohono O'odham music festival in Sells, Arizona. Along with Orchestral performances, Jordin also has an extensive solo concert program and is part of a Guitar Duet with colleague and longtime friend, Alejandro Arenas--which just this year, the Duo performed at the 2023 Sergio Assad Tribute Concert presented at the University of Arizona. Apart from studying under Micheal Lich at PCC and Ana-Maria Iordache at the UA, Jordin has also received lessons from Manus Noble, a Royal College of Music Alumni, and has participated in masterclasses of Erik Quijada from the University of Sonora, and of the world renowned guitarist and composer, Sergio Assad. Jordin is well versed in many different genres from Classical to Jazz Guitar, Swing, Singer-Songwriter, and Finger Style Guitar.
My Teaching Approach:
I like to think that anyone can learn to play music, there is no obstacle which we can't overcome with the proper guidance. I cater music lessons to each individual student's goals and interests. Teaching music which resonates with the student while also using that same joy-filled music to show the nuances of technique. Breaking down complex pieces of music into bite size material which the student can play today to keep the motivation high for their goals of tomorrow.
