  • Introduction to Jazz Improvisation

    Reviewed by John E on 9/16/2022
    Jazz Improv with Ed MacEachen was a class I looked forward to each week. The participants were warm and receptive, and Ed was a masterful teacher; supportive and non-judgmental, but also flexible and informative. He was able to take each student where they were in their musical journey and create a cohesive course content for everyone involved. What a pleasure it was working with such a superb instructor. I look forward to the next session!
