Composing for Youth Jazz Ensembles with Dean Sorenson
Composer Quest: A Songwriting and Music Composition Podcast - A podcast by Charlie McCarron
Student jazz players have likely come across the name Dean Sorenson – his jazz curriculum books have been published by Kjos music and played in schools across the globe. In my Composer Quest interview with Dean, I ask him about how he makes music fun and playable for younger jazz players. We also talk about the differences between improvising and composing.
