Remy's technical prowess and ability to connect with students make for a great masterclass experience. He now tours with guitarist Nadav Lev performing their own compositions, and influences range from Classical, to klezmer to jazz. Yulzari is a classically trained bassist, studying first in France, then earning his Artists Diploma from the Juilliard School. It was fun the entire time we were improvising, and I felt myself listening and thinking differently after this class.ģ-5pm - Double Bass Masterclass - Room 404 Eastman School Remy gives great guidance that players at all levels can relate to, and uses it help build our listening and our technique as we make our way through different modes and scale patterns. Honestly, last year when he hosted this improv class, little Classical me said "I can't improvise." and learned that anyone CAN do this. This class is open to all instruments, and will help provide easy ways to incorporate improv into your practicing and your teaching. Noon-1:30pm - Improv Workshop - Room 320 Eastman School
