Scuttlebutt - August 11

August 11, 2022
Hey friends!

My guest on the podcast this week is Tomoko Akaboshi . She shares her passion for connecting classical string players with jazz and non-classical styles. One of the ways she does this is by hiring them for cool gigs as a busy NYC string contractor.

Find out what made this Tokyo-born classical violinist decide to move to Boston with just a suitcase and a violin.

Did a 3-hour Zoom teacher training session with the wonderful folks at the Troup County schools in LaGrange, Georgia who want to bring Strum Bowing to their middle school and high school string students. We learned how they can work on the pop tunes their kids already listen to and figure out how to play grooves with them. And we talked about improv games that help get kids creative and playing outside the classical box.
