I began originally when my intrigued me to start learning the saxophone.
He first "nudged" me into music, but it soon grew through teaching and learning.
At the moment, I am studying at The Rivers School Conservatory, hopefully
taking the hard work and commitment I have put in will help me go to college as
a Jazz major.
= My influences include: Joe Henderson, Michael Brecker, Charles
Mingus, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, Stan Getz, Horace Silver,
Pat Metheny, John Scofield, Donny McCaslin, Chick Corea, etc... I now study with the Rivers Conservatory staff: Phillipe
Crettien (Berklee), Bill Jones (NEC), Alexi Tsiganov (NEC), Dan Loschen (Oberlin
and NEC), Ben Schwendener (NEC), Mike Connors (Berklee), Patrick Mottaz
(Berklee) and Rodger Cagnon (Berklee).
I plan on becoming a teacher at a school such as Rivers, teaching
students and maybe even directing the school's Big Band and/or Combos. Or to
become a full time musician doing gigs constantly and masterclasses, etc. Either
way, I would be trying to have a flow of gigs, teaching or not.
Teen Jazz offers one page hosting with space for a bio and a picture for Teen Jazz Musicians (or just young musicians, you do not necessarily have to be a "jazz musician"). If you are interested in being added to Teen Jazz, there are two ways that you can become a Teen Jazz Artist;
(A) You can write your own biography, including your name, how many years you have been playing, and where you are from and send it to Shannon Kennedy, or
(B) you can fill out the Teen Jazz Artists form to apply for eligibility.
Either way is easy and will only take you a few minutes. Don't miss out on this great opportunity for exposure!
