[NEohioPAL] Jazz Improv Class on East Side

[Eileen Burns]

*Jazz Improvisation Class with Demetrius Steinmetz*

Adults and older teen musicians interested in playing jazz, I am starting up
a small class on the east side.  The instruction is geared towards
intermediate music students who would like to work on improvisational
technique and build a strong foundation for understanding and playing jazz.
I have room for one or two more students.  We will probably meet on Tuesdays
during the day, exact time to be determined.

I am also available for private lessons on a variety of instruments, my
specialties being upright bass and saxophone, and I instruct ensembles from
small groups to big bands. Contact me for availability.
