MORE ABOUT JORDAN
My Most important influence/memory… I remember seeing a classical guitarist's Master's recital at Brock University
when I was in my last year of high school. This guy played all sorts of cool modern stuff. I had never heard music like this
on an acoustic guitar no less. I was set for learning more about guitar (at the time) and classical-based music.
My Proudest moment… I was quite proud of my solo cello recital that I did a few years ago; lots of cool 20th century
stuff
My Favourite Composers… No particular order – Xenakis, Schnittke, Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev
My Favourite Painters… Currently - pre-Group of Seven Canadian painters - William Brymner, Otto Jacobi, Maurice
Cullen oh, and local artist, Dave Carlin, is awesome!
My Most Interesting Musical Performers… Cellist Frances-Marie Uitti performs some very interesting stuff with effects
and double-bow and a metal cello even!
My Favourite Colour… Blue, usually
What I appreciate most about my students… I appreciate my students' interest in playing music (the journey has
begun!)
My Dream of Happiness… My life as it is for things are what they are and I am quite happy. Though not to be lax in
wanting to push myself and such.
My Greatest Misfortune… To not be able, physically, to play music
My motto… I don't know for sure...life is about working to better oneself through new experiences and new
acquaintances
