Introduction
Greetings! My name is Ethan Elseth and I have been working as a professional musician, composer/arranger, and teacher for the past 9 years. I tour nationally and internationally as lead guitarist with Minneapolis's very own Har Mar Superstar and am an active composer/arranger specializing in music for media, film, and anything orchestral. I have an extensively wide range of experience and knowledge in my specialized areas; having done work for the MN Orchestra, the Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra, the Quad Cities Symphony Orchestra, written music of nearly every style for clientele, performed and toured in a multitude of different ensembles, and have taught students aged 5 to 75! I hold a bachelor's degree in Instrumental Composition and another in Guitar Performance from McNally Smith College of Music. I love passing down my knowledge and sharing my experiences with the eager student and seeing the "lightbulb going off" expression on my student's faces when something "clicks"! Let's work together today!

Ethan's qualifications exceed the typical college graduate his age! I was amazed at how fluently he spoke of each musical topic we went over in our lessons. His playing and composing is what drew me immediately to him. You will not be disappointed, Guaranteed!

Woah, two reviews in one day! haha. I hope you'll soon grow an insterest in composing too! It goes hand in hand with being a great musician.

Ethan's teaching approach fit my learning style very well during the time I studied finger-style and jazz guitar with him. He's very patient, and willing to try multiple lesson routes to help your experience be a great one! :)

Although I didn't find Ethan through Thumbtack, he's been a constant source of inspiration for me to better myself at composing and arranging music! I originally went to school as a piano major in college, but always felt I was lacking in my abilities to write music of my own. He's opened my eyes tremendously through study of his own music and the music of my favorite artists and composers alike. I'd HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for strong musical guidance :)

Thanks for the kind review, Amanda! It's been awhile since I've been active on this site, so I'm trying to get as many reviews from great students like yourself!
