I’ve been doing a lot of skydiving lately. I made my 800th jump this past weekend and am feeling great! I’ve also been taking on new guitar students. It’s really fantastic seeing people progress in their music.

Today my wife and I close on our first house! Next week, off to London for a 10 day vacation and a show or two. Life doesn’t get much better than this.

If you’re reading this and am not friends with me on Facebook, you should head over there and add me.  It’s a great way to stay in touch and I have a lot of photos and videos up there too.  Thanks for the support!

Best,

sean

If you are interested in taking guitar lessons with me, please email me at seanprogan@hotmail.com and we can set a lesson up!  We can study anything you’d like including songwriting, soloing, reading music, guitar maintenance, stage presence, bass, singing, learning specific songs, how to transcribe songs and how to get the best music inside of you to come out.

I love teaching and have been doing it for a long time.  I have my degree in Music Education from Berklee College of Music as well.  If you know someone in southern New England that might be interested in starting up lessons with me, please send them my way.

Thank you very much.

Best,

I will be teaching a 6 week course at the Passim Center in Cambridge, MA on Tuesday nights starting May 4th. It’s going to be a class called Performance Techniques and I am really looking forward to it. Here is the link to register…

Performance Techniques with Sean P. Rogan

Anxiety is one of the biggest obstacles to overcome when performing live.  In this class, you will have the chance to perform in front of your peers and receive constructive criticism.  Everyone will be a performer as well as an audience member.  The class will be based around honesty and respect.  Performing is a very physical act, in addition to being mental and emotional.  Gain an awareness of your body, mind and song.  Performances will include cover songs and/or original compositions.  Bring your instrument and an open mind.  You will become a more confident and relaxed performer, which allows your best music to come out.

This class is open to anyone who can perform at least 3 songs start to finish.  All styles, instruments and levels welcome!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Boston show at Sweetwater Cafe!  It was such a great time and I especially loved everyone dancing.  My residency at the Middle East in Cambridge runs for the entire month of April and I’ll be playing every Monday night.  If you’re looking for a more mellow set, this might be for you.  I’ve been playing a lot of bar gigs lately and keeping it lively and upbeat.  I am looking forward to this residency very much.
