Harris Academy of the Arts would like to present its newest instructor, Garrett Hope! Garrett will be joining Harris Academy of the Art’s team of university-trained instructors and will be teaching all ages in beginning to advanced acoustic guitar, electric guitar, string bass, electric bass, composition, and music theory.
Garrett has been performing on stages of various sizes and in front of many different audiences since he was a toddler. Garrett studied piano, clarinet, guitar, and bass as he was growing up. Though he tinkered with sequencing and song writing, it wasn’t until he began studying composition at university that he found his musical passions – composition and teaching.
Uncovering these passions led to the completion of graduate degrees from the University of Northern Colorado and the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. Garrett has taught composition, music theory, music technology, and ear training as adjunct faculty at several institutions, but after completing his DMA, Garrett taught as a Visiting Assistant Professor in Pennsylvania.
Returning to Lincoln after teaching in PA has allowed Garrett to focus on composing new music for ensembles of all styles and genres, and also to teach guitar, bass, composition, and theory at Harris Academy of the Arts.
Harris Academy of the Arts is very excited for Garrett to be joining the team. Call (402) 423-7121 today to set up an introductory lesson with Garrett! For more information about Harris Academy of the Arts, visit www.facebook.com/HarrisAcademyoftheArts.
