David Solis Olson: News

I am pleased to offer a home studio space to my current and future students dedicated to the purpose of guitar study. Conveniently located in South Charlotte off of Tyvola Road (between South Boulevard and Park Road), the rooms have reverberant hardwood floors. Individual and group lessons start at $20/30 minutes. Styles offered include: classical, jazz, rock, pop, folk and blues. All ages and levels, beginner to advanced, welcome. I also offer instruction in music theory, music history and ear training.

Classical Guitar News is a UK-based website which is "run by classical guitarists for classical guitarists." They offer many resources for the student and professional and have generously reviewed my debut CD, "Sketches of Latin America"-

"David Olson is likely to be a name unfamiliar to many classical guitar followers this side of the Atlantic..."

I'm now an adjunct guitar instructor at Davidson College.

Davidson is a highly selective independent liberal arts college for 1,700 students located 20 minutes north of Charlotte in Davidson, N.C. Since its establishment in 1837 by Presbyterians, the college has graduated 23 Rhodes Scholars and is consistently regarded as one of the top liberal arts colleges in the country. Through The Davidson Trust, the college became the first liberal arts institution in the nation to replace loans with grants in all financial aid packages, giving all students the opportunity to graduate debt-free. Davidson competes in NCAA athletics at the Division I level, and a longstanding Honor Code is central to student life at the college.

I'll be featured along with other musicians on November 29, 2008 at 2PM on WDAV's (89.9FM here in Charlotte or listen to it in hi-def streaming audio at www.wdav.org)
"Main Street Sessions" program. "Main Street Sessions" is hosted by Jennifer Foster and presents local talent. I'll be playing some standard classical pieces and running my mouth about them a little also. If you miss it, it will be available online at www.wdav.org on Monday, December 1.

Happy Holidays!!

Charlotte, NC is home to some fantastic flute (note alliteration) players and I've allied myself with a couple of them! We play Classical, Spanish, Latin and Popular styles and can arrange practically anything for our instrumental combination. Feel free to contact me regarding rates and availability. Solo guitar still available. I hear wedding bells!
