George Lesiw Guitar: Group Beginner & Advanced Beginner
Recognized as one of the most prolific and versatile jazz performers on the Connecticut music scene, guitarist George Lesiw has made his surge a topic of conversation and interest amongst the Northeast audience. Lesiw combines the true improvisational essence and language of jazz, the daring electricity of rock-fusion and the gritty fire of blues.
George believes each student is on his or her own musical journey, whether they want to become professionals and make a living at it or just want music to enrich their life. As a music educator, he brings a strong and refined ability to connect with students, inspire them, hone their specific needs and goals and work with them to expand their knowledge, polish their technique and progress as musicians.
His own journey has brought him to this point via 25 years of intensive study and thorough practice, both in classrooms and practical experience – performing in many venues such as concert halls and festivals all over the Northeast and as far away as California, as well as producing, composing, arranging and orchestrating.
By creatively engaging and challenging students, he hopes they will leave the classroom with a deeper connection and appreciation for music. Throughout his years of teaching, it has been very rewarding to see students’ progress and musical growth; some of which have gone on to become recording artist and professionals in the music industry.
