History
I started teaching in 2008, after several years of performing in bands and studying classical guitar performance in college. Since then I have helped many people unlock their musical skills and meet their goals, with lessons tailored to each individual, I do my best to ensure each student is pleased with the progress they show. Studio of Rory Kenner has helped people to join their school's jazz band, join an adult choir, learn an instrument in retirement, read music for the first time, brush up their existing skills for a school talent show, learn how to improvise, understand what makes a chord major or minor, write their own music and much more.
Specialties
Specializing in Classical Guitar and Music Theory, I've taught music in the Portland area since 2008, those of all ages and experience levels seeking to increase their skills and musicality, no matter which genre they seek to learn. As a life-long musician, multi-instrumentalist, composer and current local performer, my studio was created to foster and educate people whose own interests and goals are to make music for themselves. Studio of Rory Kenner exists to to provide students music a friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging atmosphere in which to learn and grow. We mostly focus on guitar, piano, voice, composition and performance practices, but all instruments are welcome!
