Vee is the Director of our Fine Arts Center here in Greenville. He is also a professional Jazz saxophonist. Vee is both a great player and a great administrator.

This six week online course will introduce you to the important concepts you need to start making your own music.
We'll cover topics like; how to play different grooves; swing, latin, funk, etc. Getting a good feel with rhythmic phrasing
