Blake has accumulated over 15 years of music teaching experience, working with more than 250 students.
A Knoxville, TN native, Blake’s love of music started early in life. In high school, Blake and some of his close
friends formed local rock bands: Matchpoint, Rockwell, and Notice.
While attending the University of Tennessee, Blake taught friends and family guitar lessons and quickly developed a passion for teaching. After graduating Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Music degree, Blake continued honing his unique style of teaching music and expanded his offering to include guitar, drums, voice, bass, piano and ukulele.
Beyond teaching, Blake also writes, produces, and records his own original music. His favorite musical influences include Khruangbin, D’Angelo, Darrell Scott, Chris Thile, Chet Baker, and Edgar Meyer.
