Clinic/Workshop Information:
Clinics and Workshops
“Jazz is arguably the most important musical genre to have
emerged in the last 100 years. It requires an understanding of
jazz ‘feel’ and harmony. Improvising is a liberating and exciting
experience for players at any level. When a student is assisted
with gaining insight into what to play and why, the experience is
an unforgettable one.”
Clinics and workshops can be arranged for sessions from 2
hours to all day, or over several days if desired
