Franko Fe

My name is Frank but I go by Franko, and have quite an extensive background in many areas of music and the industry.  My primary instrument i woiuld say is guitar.  Ihave been playing now for around 17 years and I began my instruction with a master Guitarist who actually received a masters degree in Guitar from ASU.  I have studied many styles from classical to rock and blues.   I have been playing prpfessionally for over a decade and have a great deal of live experience. In 2000 in incoorporated a independewnt record label through which I was exposed to every aspect of the music buisness from a guitar to running a 128 channel mixing board.  I have personally been the key organizer and have produced and coordinated over 200 shows in the valley comprised of both national and local bands and artists during the last ten years.

         I am also well versed on the bass guitar as I have been playing bass professionally for several years and have been studying bass for nearly a decade.

        I am also semi proficient on keyboard, though it is my weekest instrument, but I would be more than capable of teaching the rudiments of the instrument.  Guitar and bass I would feel comfprtable teaching any range from beginner to intermediate and in most cases beyond, depending on the focus of the student.

        I have in the past given guitar lessons to a handful of students, and feel that I have a casual non pressure approach to learning to play and am very open to moving at the students pace.  

         I also have a strong background in theory coupled with a vast knowledge of structure, technique, style, dynamics, cadence, arrangement, and feel. 

        Simply put, I love music.  I love writing songs, playing instruments, singing, entertaining and perhaps most of all sharing the knowledge and love I have accrued throughout my life as a musician to those would be studewnts who have passion and a desire to learn.
