Jerry Acosta

Jerry earned a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of North Carolina/Greensboro and a Masters degree from the University of Southern California. He has been a freelance musician for over twenty years, performing as a soloist and in chamber music ensembles.

He formed "La Folia Chamber Ensemble" as a working group. It is primarily a flute, violin, and classical guitar trio, but often adds a cello, and can expand to an ensemble of six musicians. The vast majority of work the group does is for wedding ceremonies.

Jerry uses a traditional method to teach guitar. While strictly adhearing to the principles of classical guitar technique, he has incorporated a variety of classical, flamenco, folk, rock, blues, and bluegrass music into his method.
