Abstract

Michael Fink was born on March 15, 1939 in Long Beach, California. He began formal musical study with basic theory and jazz guitar, studying with Vincente Gomez at an early age. Fink began composing and playing the guitar professionally at the age of thirteen. The composer traces his penchant for tonality back to these early experiences playing jazz and pop music (Appendix III,'49).
