John Wynn

In 1993, John Wynn began his guitar teaching career in
Duncanville, TX, where he hosted workshops and put on concerts for the local
community.
Some things haven’t changed, as
John has recently offered, through his Around
the Square series, free concerts which
benefit his Outreach through Music scholarship fund.
Outreach through Music grows out of a desire to
connect more and more people to music in John’s current community of
McKinney, where he opened his new studio in 2000.
The Around the Square concerts not
only expose the community of McKinney to nationally renowned musicians, but
they also work towards a larger goal of the
McKinney Guitar Studio which is to engage
young players by surrounding them with many different opportunities to hear,
play, and become personally involved with music, just as John was inspired
in this way by his own family and community when he was growing up.
John has had some wonderful
opportunities to play with and feature many talented musicians through the
Around the Square series and other concerts he has organized in McKinney,
Miguel Antonio,
Lynn Adler,
and Beth Wood,
to name just a few.
John’s own trio,
String Fever, of which
Mack Price and
Terry Hankins are
members, is working on a new CD,
Things That Pass between Us.

John’s desire to share music with
McKinney allows him to continually build connections with all types of
artists in the community.
Artist Annie Royer has been creating beautiful
and spontaneous artwork during the Around the Square series.
Annie’s pieces have been so well received that
she and John are now taking this live
music-live art show on the road.
With a mom who played piano, an uncle and many
friends who played guitar, and through playing in church musicals, John was
constantly surrounded by music and by people who loved music.
As John’s interest in music grew, so did the list of
those musicians who he drew, and still draws, inspiration from, artists like
Andres Segovia, Lenny Breau, Chet Atkins, Jim Croce, and Gordon Lightfoot.
John now includes many of his own friends on
this list, people like John Knowles,
Billy Crockett,
and Doug Smith.
John continues to create and publish guitar method
books and other projects through his publishing company, Lone Prairie Music.
These books, John’s CDs, and guitars can all
be purchased through the McKinney Guitar Studio.
