Guitar Lessons, Guitar Music Theory, Patrick Sutton – Guitar Teacher

Patrick Sutton began taking guitar lessons with Kevin Alumbaugh of the Evergreen School of Music at the age of eleven. His main studies in high school were in Rock, Blues and Jazz which later led to an interest in the classical guitar. Patrick graduated from the Lamont School of Music with a Bachelor of Music degree in guitar performance. Patrick is the only guitar major ever to earn the recital of distinction award for both his junior and senior recitals at Lamont. He is currently working on his Master of Music degree in guitar at the same institution studying with world famous virtuoso/composer Ricardo Iznaola.

Patrick is a member of the Iliff Guitar Quartet who have been prize winners at Lamont’s Chamber Music Competition two years in a row and twice asked to play in the Lamont Showcase, the highest honor bestowed by the school. Other notable performances include several engagements for the Japanese Consulate of Denver.

Along with his studies in art music, Patrick also collaborates with many other Denver musicians in band situations playing a variety of styles.
