“East of the Sun (and West of the Moon)” is a popular song written by Brooks Bowman, an undergraduate member of Princeton University’s Class of 1936, for the 1934 production of the Princeton Triangle Club’s production of Stags at Bay. It was published in 1934 by Santly Bros. and soon became a hallmark of the Princeton Tigertones, Princeton University’s signature all-male a cappella group. The Princeton Triangle Club performs the number every year at its annual Frosh Week show. The standard is also sung by the Princeton Nassoons.
I love being a guitar teacher. There is something profoundly cool about helping a guitarist find their way on the path we share! Working with beginners- especially adult beginners- is both humbling and fulfilling. I truly enjoy working with people who are either looking to take up this wonderful instrument or improve their playing. My online students get a combination of real-time coaching, personal video lessons and an in-depth assessment from Fathom, the lesson assistant I use. In-person students get the advantage of one-to-one focused attention, of course. We start out with a goal -usually a song you want to learn- and then figure how how to take it where you want to. I am here to help!
