Faculty Biography

:: Jeff Brueske ::::::


Philosophy: Music connects us with the past and yet keeps us in the moment. In playing music we momentarily bring to life the composers of the past, and add something of ourselves in the experience. I hope to instill in my students the joy of playing music through dedication to the instrument. The acoustic guitar, electric guitar and bass each offer different rewards to the student, but the goal is the same: enjoying the process of learning a noble instrument.
