Mordy Ferber
New York guitarist Mordy Ferber will present various aspects of using melody and harmony in “internalizing” a composition, then taking the tune someplace that is uniquely yours. In this way, Mordy will help provide you with specific tools which you can then use on your own to explore and create your own musical interpretation to the music. Why “paint by numbers” trying to use someone else’s ideas when you have your own voice?
Few player-clinicians are great teachers. Mordy truly enjoys teaching and brings nearly 30-years experience to the teacher’s chair. Start off the cool weather season with a great jazz guitar clinic and sign up today!
