Do you want your Jazz Band to make an impact?
I can help your band to play with excitement, sensitivity, and authenticity by providing a jazz clinic that is designed to fit your needs.
Your band will learn rhythmic accuracy and how to uncover their dynamic range; as well as playing with authentic jazz swing, tone, and articulation.
Your rhythm section will play with more consistent time while actively listening to each other, the horn section, and soloists. Auxiliary percussionists will learn to correctly play Latin percussion instruments.
Enrich your student’s education by performing the music of Latin America, known as "Salsa" or "Latin Jazz", with authenticity while learning the cultural background in which it developed.
Your students will learn to improvise with a conversational-like manner over the twelve bar blues progression. Your young improvisers will be able to transfer the techniques learned on the blues to any chord progression.
Bring life to your sections with improved intonation and tone production as well as strengthen the inner voices to create a full section sound. Save time in big band rehearsal by working on rhythmic accuracy, style, and sight-reading in sectionals.
