Leo Steinriede, a guitarist, arranger and composer, studies music at the Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz and Performing Arts, Settlement Music School and Lower Merion High School. I started playing the guitar at age 7 and started studying at the Philadelphia Clef Club at age 13. Learning from such great teachers like Marcell Bellinger and Monnette Sudler really made me want to pursue music as a career. While jazz is the main way that I communicate musically, my senses are informed by all of the types of music I listen to.
