Joseph Mayes was self-taught until 1963 when he began his studies with Mr. Peter Colona at the Settlement Music school in Philadelphia. In 1968, after three years in the army, Mr. Mayes was given an invitational scholarship by the government of Spain to study with the internationally-renowned concert guitarist Andres Segovia. Mayes holds degrees in guitar from Thomas Edison College of Trenton, New Jersey, and Shenandoah University of Winchester, Virginia. Since 1972, Mr. Mayes has been on the faculty of Rowan University where he teaches Guitar, lute, vihuela, and mandolin. His recordings span the complete range of the enormous repertoire for the guitar and lute. His latest CD is a collection of salon music entitled "Parlor Gems" performed on recreations of authentic 19th Century guitars. |
