About Me

Duke has always loved music from an early age. He began playing guitar and singing at the age of 7 and continued his education by attending the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign for Music Education. His musical influences include The Beatles, Mac Demarco, Alkaline Trio, Nobuo Uematsu, Take 6, John Mayer, David Bowie, Weather Report and Foo Fighters. Duke's favorite thing about music is freedom of expression and human connection. His favorite thing about teaching music is the feeling when a student has that musical epiphany that "light bulb" moment!. One of his favorite teaching experiences was with his a Capella group, The Other Guys. When taking lessons with Duke you can expect a goal-focused but care free musical experience. Be ready to sing or play for most of the time! He looks forward to getting to know you as a student and learning about your specific goals, interests, and learning style.
