Bio of Gwen Greenway

	Gwen Greenway is the owner/operator of the Gwen Greenway Music School which she established in North Vancouver, BC in 1980. Her musical background is an extensive one, including studies at both McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario and at York University in Toronto, Ontario.
While at York, Gwen majored in Piano and Harpsichord, with a secondary major in Southeast Indian Drumming. Gwen holds an A.R.C.T. from the Royal Conservatory of Music, which is the most widely recognized teaching certificate in North America. She has also received certification from the Associated Board of Jazz Teachers in London, England.

When her hands have not been busy tickling the ivories, Greenway has co-developed and published three sets of Music History Flashcards which are sold in music stores across Canada.

Additionally, she has published a keyboard book entitled 'Basic Keyboard Principles'. This is a lesson and reference book which incorporates the teaching of Pop and Jazz piano styles. It has just gone into its second printing.

Gwen's latest book, 'Undercover' contains 16 original songs with note to note transcriptions of all the improvised solos on the CD.

Her first CD, entitled Undercover 'In the Shade', has been released. This work is comprised of Gwen's original compositions, while the lyrics were written by her husband, Ken Mayo. Look for an eye-catching photograph of her Lovebird, "Peaches", on the cover of the new CD!
