Name/Grade: Mr. Morrow/31 years YOUNG
What is your impression of Guitar 1 so far?
I'm enjoying the class a lot. You are all picking things up quickly, participating, and respecting the all important cutoff. I am looking forward to playing lots of songs together.
What is your favorite type of music and why?
Right now, I'm really on a sort of pop music kick. I'm enjoying the songs that the choir is singing, such as Lorde's "Royals" and Broadway stuff too. Les Miserables is in heavy rotation in my house. I also love punk rock and metal.
What are some of your favorite things to do?
Teaching music, cooking, hanging with my wife, dogs and twin boys (Freddie and Mickey) watching 30 rock on Netflix, drinking coffee. Oh, and horror movies. Always.
What do you hope to achieve in this class?
I want everyone to develop confidence not only as a guitarist, but as a musician, and as a person. Playing music did that for me when I was in high school.
Cut and paste a youtube clip of something musical that you enjoy!
One of my favorite bands is Opeth, from Sweden. Here's a clip.
