Welcome to the first #nyosfromhome JAZZ spring course! Today we visit BopCamp course director Andrew Bain to discuss structuring our practice during lockdown. Join us at 4pm for Andrew’s next film all about listening.
It’s Day 1 part 2 of #nyosfromhome on the Jazz BopCamp spring course and we return to course director Andrew Bain as he shares with us his curated Spotify playlist and asks us to listen to different arrangements of the same song to gain insight and understanding of how to create our own versions. Enjoy!
