Jazz Violin Masterclass with Zach Brock
For this masterclass Zach Brock will discuss string-specific strategies for assimilating new harmonic and melodic vocabulary across the entire instrument as well as non-traditional bow techniques that are useful for playing swing and "pocket" time feel. This class is suitable for any string player who has developed the ability to shift up and down the neck of their instrument, can pull a straight bow, and is interested in developing an approach for more advanced improvisation.
