Course Description
Add rock to your Bach. Put some swing in your strings. Get rhythm in your bows. Hear the news about the blues and mix a little fiddle in the middle. Spend eight weeks with jazz violinist Randy Sabien exploring the exciting possibilities for bowed string instruments. Learn to authentically interpret a variety of contemporary musical styles, improvise, understand chord symbols and voicings, meet the rhythm section (drums, bass, piano/guitar) and most importantly how to share these skills with your students. Rosin the bow – here we go!
