Geoffrey Klok has been a student of the guitar for more than 9 years and a pupil of music for nearly 20. Though originally inspired by the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughn, he is classically trained in the lineage of masters such as Julian Bream and Christopher Parkening. His tastes constantly expand to include jazz, blues, rock, folk, bluegrass, and
everything in between. He is an active solo and ensemble artist and performs frequently in the South Sound area at public and private functions. He is a graduate of the University of Puget Sound '02 and has been teaching his instrument of choice for almost 4 years. He is the resident private teacher and performer for the Parks Department of
the City of Tacoma. His curriculum is an amalgam, including the Noad and Shearer methods, supplemented by dozens of personal transcriptions and compositions, and frequently draws on the requests of students as new material.
