Workshops
Clint Dadian has organized and runs an ongoing jazz improvisation workshop for amateur adult musicians. The sessions are open to all guitar, piano, reed and brass players but limited to eight players. Participants are given the opportunity to work with a professional rhythm section (bass and drums) during each session. Each workshop runs for eight weeks, and meets once a week for two hours in Brooklyn Heights. The sessions are structured to cover a variety of jazz styles while working on selected standards. Emphasis is on stylistic interpretation, improvisation, communicating with a rhythm section and playing in and over a horn section. Original arrangements and horn backgrounds are often provided.

The fee for all eight sessions is $275. Please see our Contacts Page.
