Greg Spero, DHS Band Alum

I have been fortunate to teach a number of very talented students over the last quarter of a century, kids who have gone on to become a professional violinist, a film composer (two of them actually), a jazz saxophonist, and someone who created an entire robotic rock band. There are a number of music teachers among my alums, others who still perform for fun or professionally, and many who just love music and are passing on that passion to the next generation. I feel truly honored to have been a part of their musical upbringing.

Today I'd like to highlight Greg Spero, a jazz pianist and composer from the class of 2003, who is really making a name for himself around town and in wider circles. He has three albums to his credit, including his latest titled Acoustic, that show him to be a versatile musician who is equally comfortable in straight-ahead and fusion settings. He is also very keen on using his music to spread peace in the world, connecting us all in a universal jam session. Greg does a ton of informal recording and is very generous with posting videos and mp3s, so check out his website, subscribe to his newsletter, and see what a former how far your DHS music education (and a ton of talent and hard work) can take you!
