MENTORSHIP
Conscious Music Mentorship:
Taragápe holds a degree in Music Education from Shenandoah Conservatory and has 15 years of teaching experience, formerly serving as the head of the guitar department at the Pittsburgh Music Academy.
In addition, he has over 27 years of songwriting and performing experience, having been a member of 6 bands, producing four studio albums and one live album. He has played dozens of venues, festivals, concert halls, and radio shows.
In recent years, he has been sharing music more in ceremonial spaces and intentional facilitations, as well as leading Kirtan (sacred chant) song circles.
His wealth of experience makes him uniquely qualified to serve as a guide on the musical journey for anyone who is seeking a deeper and more conscious relationship with their musical expression.
