Panoramic Landscape by Gene Taylor

Gene was born in Washington, D.C., and grew up in northern Virginia. "Throughout my early years my family would 'head for the mountains' almost every weekend from spring through fall. The mountains were the Blue Ridge Mountains and they still retain the same magic and beauty I felt and saw as a child.”

In 1983 Gene moved to Woodstock, Virginia in the Shenandoah Valley where he established a studio, darkroom and gallery. "I was drawn once again to the special combination of gentleness, beauty and timelessness of Virginia's mountains and valleys. The changes of season, weather and quality of light provide an endless source of visual pleasure.” more info

Cary's Studio
I usually conceive the idea for a painting during the process of creating the painting. Sometimes I begin by filling the canvas with color and seeing what shapes appear from my brushstrokes.Other times I start by drawing random lines. I try to let my senses find what the canvas has to say. If I have a definite idea of what kind of world I want to create, it generally changes during the making of it.

John Fisher
the sculptor, from Luray Va

John Fisher started drawing cartoon characters at the age of seven. As he grew older it became evident that he was gifted as an artist.  In high school he became very interested in portrait and figure drawing.  He tried sculpture in soap and wire as well as clay. It was apparent that John had extraordinary ability to reproduce the human form in exceptional detail.

Even though John was self taught, he sought advice from a portrait artist. With his assistance John was able to sell several of his works of art. John attended a class in portrait sculpture instructed by Charles Flickenger, an artist who taught at the Cocoran in Washington DC. By the end of the second session John was helping Charles teach the class.

We are looking forward to working with John Fisher and are happy to welcome him as a member of The Shenandoah Valley Music and Art Network.

Guitar Lesson Information

Thank you for inquiring about guitar lessons. Please call after reading the enclosed information to schedule a no pay consultation or guitar lessons. Lessons are held beside Shenandoah Music Store. I meet once a week for a half hour lesson. I can schedule a no pay consultation to test students under the age of 13 to determine if they are ready to start guitar lessons..

I specialize in helping beginning students to learn chords and strumming patterns, which is what guitarists do most of the time. This prepares them to be able to play along with recordings or other musicians. If the student is interested in something else, I am happy to discuss that with them. I teach rock, blues, alternative, country, popular music.
The lesson fee is $90 per month. Family discounts are available.

I have been teaching at Shenandoah Music Store since 1986. I also do guitar repairs for the store. I have played as a professional musician since 1965 in various bands. I am a graduate of James Wood High School and attended Shenandoah Conservatory of Music in 1974. I was born and raised in Winchester.

The Valley's Ultimate Resource for the best musicians.
Shenandoah Valley House Concert Series

Live Music: Jazz, Folk, Blues, Bluegrass, Rock, Swing and more.

ShenandoahMusic.coms' growing list of USA musicians will perform at your home, office, weddings, anniversaries or festivals.

What is a house concert? A house concert is a chance to experience music by local musicians in a warm and intimate environment. It's when someone opens up their home and invites you into their living room to share in a performance by a few of our talented musicians.

Why would anyone do this? There are few venues where people can go to experience great music in a close and friendly environment. Great music makes us happy and we want to share that with others around us. These events allow us to give exposure to some incredible Virginia and traveling musicians that are a part of our worldwide network whose talents we truly believe in and wish to help promote.

How much does this cost? We have a "recommended donation" of $10-20 per person but we realize every situation is different and we can certainly make concessions to fit your individual needs.

The folks at ShenandoahMusic.com are always interested in working with newer musicians moving to the Valley and in helping to get more music venues off the ground.

Let us know your musician needs and we will get on it right away.
