As a graduate of Northwestern University with a Masters Degree in Music Theory, John spent his undergraduate years at the University of Chicago. His friendship with the Native American Flute began in 1995 while vacationing in Santa Fe. As an educator he realized how easy it was for almost anyone to play. Unlike piano or guitar that take years of study, this instrument could be mastered in a short time. What followed was his initiation of Flute classes at Scottsdale Community College in Scottsdale, Arizona and the first 16 week credited program for Native American Flute on a Community College level. John has been a member of the SCC Music faculty since 1985. |
