Joel Powell
Welcome to Joel's spot on the Internet. Here you'll find information about the lifelong connection between Joel and music — some of Joel's music, jams, and what he's been up to lately. It covers blues, jazz, rock, and everything in between — on stage, in the studio, and in the lesson room.
About
Hello! My name is Joel Powell and I have been a music lover for the majority of my life. I've been around long enough to have seen the Beatles' first appearance on Ed Sullivan.
I have over 40 years playing and teaching guitar and piano, with a deep love for blues and jazz. Experienced in songwriting, mixing, and mastering — helping students find their voice on the instrument - both guitar and keys.
I also spent years as a software engineer building products and development teams. That background still shapes how I teach: clear structure, patience, and a focus on fundamentals.
