Spencer Layne is one of Blue Bear’s most active instructors. As the head teacher for Blue Bear’s All Star Band program, as well as one of our band workshop and private lesson teachers, Spencer’s card is pretty full. In this session of Music Mentors, Cole and Spencer discuss all sorts of things such as his introduction to playing music (the recorder and the video game Guitar Hero), how their first rock concerts were cloaked with comedy, and their love for both complex and simple music and instrumentation.
