Get Jazzed With Strings!!!

 

 

This page was created in order to provide my students and my colleagues with a source for learning and teaching jazz in the world of strings. The page reviews methods, repertoire, clinicians, and provides lesson plans (go ahead and duplicate!). This page also showcases my favorite jazz artists, provides midi-files for student use, and links the user to great websites where they can find all the latest information on the great jazz string musicians of our time.

Thanks for visiting!
