PROFESSOR GREGORY MIDGELEY

Outside of Rock'n'Roll Academy, Greg has studied teaching through his own private students and through the many rock ensemble classes hosted by the now-defunct Youth-city Artways program. He has studied under David Payne since the schools inception in 2008. His extensive studies of the piano, drums, and jazz guitar have lent themselves to his own songwriting and performance as he is seen in the clubs at any given night. He is currently continuing his studies of the Jazz Guitar under Joshua Payne of the Wasatch Music Coaching Academy.

Greg teaches piano, guitar, bass, drums, composition, and directs and plays in the duet and three-piece ensembles.

Here's some links to music he makes:
The Rubes where he plays keys, guitar, and sings
Bronco where he plays the piano
