George Lesiw Guitar: Group 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. George combines the true improvisational essence and language of jazz, the daring electricity of rock fusion, and the gritty fire of the blues.
He performs in venues across the Northeast and the US, while also recording, producing, composing, arranging, and orchestrating. George is a touring guitarist with Eight to the Bar, voted "Best Musical Band" by Connecticut Magazine in 2024.
George believes each student is on their own musical journey, whether they want to become professionals and make a living with it or just want music to enrich their lives.
His own journey includes over 25 years of intensive study and thorough practice, both in the classroom and with practical experience. In May 2024, George received his Master of Arts in Teaching, Music Education from Sacred Heart University.
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.

Throughout his years of teaching, it has been very rewarding to see students’ progress and musical growth; some of whom have gone on to become recording artists and professionals in the music industry.
He is a favorite among students, teaching all types of guitar, ukulele, bass, banjo, as well as beginner and intermediate cello.
