How do we learn to play? I would say learn theory, and play. Playing with masters at their instruments gives all levels of musicians the opportunity to learn with a hands on experience. The experience through the master class is an immersion into the playing of the instrument of your choice and learning from the musicians around you. After all both the novice and the master have musical ideas which demand exploration. Alan Segal, ex. dir. The Jazz Sanctuary.
The Jazz Sanctuary gave the first ever Jazz Master Class at the Berks County Jazz Festival – 2018
