Well actually I can't participate until after August 17 as I will be having house guests til then. Thanks for checking with me. I'm looking forward to experiencing one of your group lessons. Today I was working on In Walked Bud and Yardbird Suite. I am an older adult very amateur player, took up trombone rather late in life. I've played in a community big band for a while, been to several jazz camps, and play with a jam group several times a month - but I have SO MUCH to learn!! Especially more advanced technical skills - flexibility, articulation, range, etc.
