Welcome
to my web site! My name is Irv Nelson, and I teach
private contemporary music lessons to highly motivated and
talented people who want to move to the next level of music
performance. I have 50 years of expertise in nearly
every aspect of live music performance, plus over 30 years
of teaching experience. I am located in Logan, Utah,
in beautiful Cache Valley.
Here you will find information about me, what I do, my
teaching methods, and my expertise. There are also
information and resources for my students. If you are
not located in Cache Valley, I'm sorry, I do not do online
lessons, but you are welcome to view all of the essays and
teaching materials on this web site, free of charge.
