2003 JAZZ  FESTIVAL CLINICIANS

Directors are encouraged to printout, photocopy and distribute the bios of the clinicians that will be working with your group. Providing your students with information about the background of these educators will encourage your young musicians to be more teachable and more inspired to listen during the clinics.
