Welcome back to the latest episode of the ArtistWorks Music Series podcast! This week, ArtistWorks CEO Patricia Butler sits down with ArtistWorks jazz guitar master and longtime music educator Dave Stryker to discuss what it’s like to learn an instrument as an adult. The show is available now anywhere you listen to podcasts, or you can listen here on our site. 

Whether you’re picking up from your childhood lessons or starting from scratch, learning an instrument as an adult can be an intimidating process. That’s why we’ve decided to gather some insight from a few of our masterful online teachers on what lies ahead for adult musical beginners. Here, listen to Dave chat about his approach to teaching as both an ArtistWorks master musician and a university professor.

On the ArtistWorks Music Series, Butler speaks with master musicians across all genres as they dive deep into topics like becoming a musician, playing at the professional level, and the journey of learning music. Over the coming weeks, we'll be spotlighting many artists and discussing all sorts of instruments and topics:
