Last night, in the back room of Scuppernong Books at 304 South Elm Street, Doug Baker's music students performed their winter recital. Some students performed on guitar and others on ukulele. His students ranged in age from 4 1/2 to adults. If you are interested in guitar lessons from Doug, he teaches out of the Cultural Arts Center on Davie Street. One of his many talents is scaffolding his students' playing. He manages to find songs that are just perfect for the given level of each student.
When he isn't busy teaching others to play music, Doug performs with the Piedmont Old Time Society and with the Songfarmers of Greensboro. He has been part of the music scene in Greensboro since at least the 1970's. Let's hope he remains an integral part of the local, live music scene for a very long time.
A good setting for a concert.
