Articulation & Feel - The Jazz Musician's Best Friend w/ Jeff Antoniuk of JazzWire

Join JazzWire Founder Jeff Antoniuk for a webinar focused a both adult amateur/semi-pro musicians, as well as grade 6 – 12 and college music teachers. Articulation is the key to playing with a convincing sense of style, and is central to solid ensemble playing. Our ability to articulate with a jazz sensibility is central to so much, but is overlooked by so many. This webinar offers tangible and actionable ideas for students and teachers to talk back to their practice rooms and band rooms.

 

Plus a Q & A with the live audience.
