I grew up in a household environment that had paintings and instruments everywhere; but it wasn’t until I turned 11 that I was inspired to pick up the electric guitar and learn the alternative rock riffs and sounds of the day. I started playing a nylon string guitar for a music class at school since I had no desire to play recorder, and met my first jamming buddy and we formed our first band. All this time I was absorbing the sounds of the nylon string guitar through the music of Ottmar Liebert, Gypsy Kings, Segovia and Sabicas that my parents listened to, so I decided to undertake the task of teaching myself sight reading and classical guitar technique. I was accepted to Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts as a music cluster student. Once I was there I attended workshops w/ concert artists, played solo recitals, as well as with various ensembles, and even formed a jazz-fusion-rock band with my peers. Following years of jazz studies and private classical lessons, I received a full scholarship to attend SMU as a classical guitar performance major with Robert Guthrie, the master student of the Romeros and Segovia. I completed my studies and earned my BFA at SMU in 2005. I began to pursue a professional career as an artist collaborating on several recording projects for soundtracks and albums, solo gigs, in addition to, performing locally as a member of several Swing, Jazz, and Rock bands. I have performed at local festivals such as ArtFest, The Swiss Avenue Historic District Home Tour, and at many other local events and venues. In 2008, I realized one of my greatest passions is to instruct the guitar and pass the knowledge of its sublime musical language, proper technique and posture to future generations. My students have competed in UIL competitions and have been accepted to the music cluster of Booker T. Washington, University of North Texas, and most recently the Master’s Program of Berklee School of Music in Valencia, Spain. Formal Education: High School: Booker T.

Body: I took classical and flamenco guitar lessons from Perry from 2012 to 2016. These four years of my life have been nothing short of a mind-blowing experience. Perry introduced me so many different types of music, expanded my knowledge, understanding and intuition of the guitar. I noticed my musicianship exponentially improve thanks to his guidance. He had been an incredibly patient and perceptive teacher during my years of learning. Last but certainly not least, Perry has been a source of deep musical inspiration for me. It was under his tutelage, that I became energized to pursue my passion for music by enrolling in the Berklee College of Music Master's degree program, as a music producer. Name: Kim Kelly Date: 2016-09-13 14:09:56 Title: Perry N Body: Thank you for reaching out about Perry. He has been teaching my daughter to play guitar since 1/5/13, and he has been working with me since November. My daughter is now 10 and was 7 when she started. She has built tremendous strength and aptitude for sight reading, keeping a steady rhythm and developing musicality and emotion into her playing over time. Perry's style is extremely professional. He is incredibly reliable and punctual. He provides Myra with different styles to influence her range of options. He has brought music and suggested progressive learning books to choose from. He challenges Myra while not frustrating her, and they gradually increased her lesson time from 30 to 60 minutes as she built the aptitude to play for longer periods of time. Perry does a great job of mixing scales with chords with picking, and provides a range of ways to achieve the same sounds with minimal stress to her body structure. In addition, Perry takes the time to teach theory and history so that she has a well rounded perspective of the art. There are days when she is not at the top of her game, and Perry recognizes this- on those days he tries to have fun and just allow her to jam. I love listening to the two of them together. They have built a solid relationship around their mutual love of music and the guitar. We've had the fortune to see Perry play at one of his local gigs, and his talent and professionalism always continue to impress me. I fully recommend Perry for this job and hope that his is considered as a strong candidate. Kim Kelly Name: Nic Fatemi Date: 2016-09-20 05:10:27 Title: Perry - classical and flamenco Review Body: I've been working with perry for more than a year and half. He is musically very talented and has a great foundation of musical knowledge that is difficult to come across these days. He is very flexible and patient with any musical level.

He also teaches other types of styles ( electric rock, chords, jazz and etc...) He has been playing guitar since a very young age and has studied under other great guitarists(academically). He shares all of his knowledge with his students that was taught to him plus more!! I have played violin for 14 years into university. I was looking to learn guitar and Perry was recommended to by a co-worker. I can recognize he is a quality teacher with passion for music a mile away. Lastly, he is a honest individual and carries himself professionally. I highly recommend him!

He is able to get her back on track without frustrating her, but also calls her out if he knows she hasn't worked hard during the week between lessons. I like that she has to learn how to read music as well as chords. He pushes her hard enough that she is challenged and progressing. Name: Joe W.
