I'm excited to announce my 19th guitar class on the island of Maui in Hawaii from Tuesday, July 3 through Thursday, July 12, 2018. Joining me as guest teacher this year will be acclaimed guitarist Scott Tennant, faculty member at the USC Thornton School of Music and member of the Grammy Award–winning Los Angeles Guitar Quartet. Joining again this year as guest ukulele teacher and ensemble assistant will be Hawaiian guitarist and ukulele player Ian O’Sullivan, currently on the faculty of the University of Hawaii.
