About Me

Jordan Bach

I've been playing guitar, violin, and composing music for over 10 years, and I teach lessons in the Dallas area. My favorite styles of music are rock and jazz, but almost everything else from r&b to bluegrass to classical is fair game. I go to Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA where I'm a 3rd semester composition major. This summer I'll be playing gigs around Dallas with my brother in a guitar/bass jazz duo. At Berklee I play in a band called "Jazz Bites Man" with some excellent musicians.

In addition to music, I enjoy running, backpacking, and spending time in the outdoors. I love Texas thunderstorms - something about the rain, thunder, lightning, and windsfascinates me. Also, if you haven't noticed, I'm huge into web design. I even have a job at my school working part time for one of its departmental web sites.
