Nikhil Hogan Show

62: Robert Gjerdingen

Hi, I'm Nikhil Hogan, an entrepreneur, guitarist, pianist, and teacher. I'm a graduate (summa cum laude) of Berklee College of Music, and a have been exploring music pedagogy and music education for many years. I'm a guitar and piano teacher with many years of experience under my belt.

After Berklee, I explored the Jazz Bebop pedagogy of Barry Harris. In 2018, I started the Nikhil Hogan Show, a podcast dedicated to interviewing great musicians of many styles. Through the podcast, I discovered the wonderful world of Partimento, Music Schema Theory, Counterpoint, and Thoroughbass. Generally, I am interested in talking to great musicians who are skilled in composing and improvisation.

Join me in my journey of surveying the best methods of music making and let's deepen our knowledge of music!
