Coaching video 18 of 40: \"Uptown\" from Finger Fitness Études Book 2 by Dr. Kristen Denny-Chambers is a really fun way to get your feet wet with some jazz approaches. This is the first jazz-influenced etude in the book, so hold on to your hats! There is a lot to cover here and I just barely got into it. If you are a real jazz musician, please be gentle and understand the purpose is to expose people to the genre so that they may dive deeper into jazz on their own. We all have to start somewhere!   \"Uptown Cat\" is dedicated to Larry Guy - a staple in the clarinet community as a performer, pedagogue, and author. He is one of the most consistently kind and genuine people I have had the pleasure to get to know.  A former clarinetist with the Atlanta Symphony, Larry Guy has performed with the New York Philharmonic, New York City Ballet, New York City Opera, New Jersey Symphony, Brooklyn Philharmonic, Orpheus, and for many years was the principal clarinet of the Long Island Philharmonic, Joffrey Ballet, Queens Symphony, and Lake George Opera. He performed in many Broadway shows.  He is the author of eight textbooks for clarinetists that cover the full range of the clarinetist’s art and has produced educational CDs for Boston Records showcasing the artistry of four virtuosos of the past: Daniel Bonade, Ralph McLane, Mitchell Lurie, and Rosario Mazzeo.  He has presented masterclasses at the Curtis Institute of Music, Tanglewood, Northwestern University, Rice, Boston University, the University of Texas/Austin, Penn State, the University of New Mexico, and Ithaca, and has lectured at clarinet festivals in Stockholm, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Oklahoma City. For three years he was the International Clarinet Association’s Chair of Pedagogy.  For many years Mr. Guy taught clarinet and chamber music at Vassar College, New York University, and the Pre-College Divisions of the Juilliard School and the Manhattan School of Music.  ****  All 40 etudes from this book have been recorded by Trevor Stewart and are exclusively available for purchase here: https://clarinetplayground.com/store/... or if you would like to purchase the bundle of the book and MP3, take a look here: PRINT  https://clarinetplayground.com/store/...
