Enhance your playing by learning how the language of Jazz was developed.

Join drummer, bandleader & educator Andrew Dickeson for a “hands-on” journey through the history of Jazz.

With a practical focus on listening and watching the great artists of this music, and group discussion, as well as providing plenty of resources should you want to “dig deeper”, this course is sure to enhance and enrich the playing of musicians of any level.

WHAT STUDENTS SAY ABOUT THIS COURSE:

Great experience with Andrew Dickeson! He’s an awesome teacher, engaging, really knows his stuff, and after each two hour class of listening and analyzing pieces, I came away with “Wow, that was great!” Summer 2020

Andrew knows his stuff and keeps it interesting!
