Please don't think of this as self-promotion. I get paid the same for this workshop whether one or one hundred enroll. I'm announcing it as a service because I know from experience that there is considerable interest in this topic from traditional (non-jazz) teachers.

Ouch. Too far for me, but just what I'd like...

Please come to St. Louis!
