Clinic/Workshop Information
I have worked as a clinitian teaching intermediate to advanced theory, improvisation, small ensemble (quartet to septet).
I also have developed a special workshop for brass instruments (trumpet, tbn, tuba, all saxes) which focuses on the learning of the music of Duke Ellington, Mingus, Monk and occasionally Sun Ra. This workshop is adaptable to any size, and may include a rhythm section, as I have experience teaching Piano, Bass and rhythmic theory.
It is a very dynamic and rewarding experience for musicians of all levels of learning.
