Even the smallest gestures can make a big difference. Our new single ‘He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother,’ is dedicated to the victims of child abuse and we would really appreciate it if you check it out!

Serious about developing your improvising? Well, you can't speak creatively in a language that you are not articulate in. I've got a really comprehensive method that I've put together after teaching jazz for 34 years. Please check it out. Denis DiBlasio and many others have endorsed it, and jazz education programs are using it in 14 states.www.lineartransitions.com       Thanks

Well - a new year under way. I teach jr. high band (gr.7-9) and I just finished a "jumpstart" with my grade 7's. We have a small school (~300) and out of the grade 7s I have around 75 students in three classes, one gr. 8 band of 37 players, and one gr.9 band of 35 players. As well I teach a guitar class to 23 students. Not bad considering that our school is from K-9 and only the jr. highs take band. This leaves about 40 students in the jr high part of the school not in music. I love my job!

Back to the jumpstart - i was enjoying listening to the first toots and squawks coming from the various rooms on Saturday morning - it got me pumped to get these kids really into the music.
There was one trumpet student who could not make a sound on his mouthpiece so I tried the 'straw' method. I first learned of this from youtube on a military trumpet lesson video - amazing: he got the sound immediately after I removed the straw.

take car.
