Day of Alternative String Styles

Tony, Nicholas, Michael, and I participated in a day of Alternative String Styles, hosted by the American String Teachers Association. We learned how to improvise in different styles - blues, jazz, Indian, rock and roll. Musicians like Bridgid Bibbens, Michael Coffey, Mike Bloch, and Steven Uh were the clinicians. At the end of the day, there was a concert, where the clinicians showed off their various styles and invited the students to join them. Michael played a solo with Steven Uh, and Nicholas played a solo with Bridgid Bibbens' group. It was a great day!
