Luke
Schwartz is a devoted local musician, in the process of attaining a B.A. in
jazz studies at the University Of South Florida and performing regularly in
the Tampa Bay area. He has been studying music seriously since he was 13
years old, when the results of a very musical upbringing sprang into effect.
He can teach a variety of styles, including jazz, funk, rock, blues, folk,
and bluegrass, but beyond that, he is a teacher of creativity. Luke is well
versed in music theory, composition, and general guitar, having received
years of professional training and mentoring from many of the area's most in

with his students, hoping they can be creative with the material that they
are presented, bring out the artist within them, and above everything else,
have lots of fun with music. |
