In Their Own Words

“In my classes, I like to develop a good repertoire and use each composition as an opportunity to learn scales, chords, comping, improvisation, reading, arranging, reharmonization, and rhythms. My main subject is improvisation. Improvisation involves creativity, technique, knowledge of form, harmonies, and scales. In my opinion, a good composer, arranger, or guitar player should first be a good improviser.”
