April 3, 12:30 PM
Jewett Auditorium
This workshop is specifically for the classically-trained flutist -(or musician)- designed to demystify the fear as well as the notion that one must be born with the talent to improvise and “play by ear” — offering accessible techniques and concepts that can be applied not only to jazz but also to any style of music. This appearance of Altus Flute Artist Jamie Baum has been made possible, in part, through an Educational Grant from Altus Flutes. Jamie Baum performs exclusively on Altus Flutes.
