In this Episode with Matt Glaser:
– The diversity of creative string players in the newest generation, and how we arrived here
– How classical string/music teachers can adapt to a changing musical world
“Inevitably the classical world has had to come to grips (with) this tsunami of young players playing fiddle tunes”
Micro-improvisation
and using skeletal melodies to develop comfort with improvisation…
– The “present moment” in performance..
– Performance psychology-
“I don’t care whether something is good or bad; music is inherently good.”

Matt Glaser has a new book entitled “Fiddle Tunes on Jazz Changes” – Get it here on Amazon.
“Develop jazz solos using melodic fragments from traditional fiddle tunes. These etudes show how melodic cells can be used to create extended improvisations.
… fragments of.. traditional fiddle tune(s) … are developed over jazz standard chord progressions.”
