Workshop

These interactive workshops are designed for intermediate to advanced players who want to work on their improvistational skills, as well as composisiton, and to explore how those two skills intersect. One of the end goals of the course is to compose an etude- a short composition designed to help one practice a given concept, technique or pattern. The classical world is filled with beautiful etudes- often times these simple compositions are more beautiful than we'd expect, and can help us practice more musically, as well as develop our talents as a composer. Other focusses of the course are ear-training, call-and-response conversational improv, and musical recall and memory. I have designed the curriculum to emphasize the individual participants, their unique skills and interests, rather than an easily repeatable sequence of information to impart. The curriculum is very much a work in progress and a major part of my learning at this point in my musical career. Courses are currently offered at a discounted rate as i tweak and perfect the flow. Thank you for your interest, and I hope to start studying with you soon.
