STUDY AT WAAPA AND HIT ALL THE RIGHT NOTES
“I wanted to major in Jazz
music and I knew WAAPA
was the best place to study”
“The foundation I received at WAAPA gave
me the opportunity to further my studies in
New York City and now I am working with
musicians I used to listen to and study while I
was at WAAPA - Dave Douglas, Joe Lovano
and Kenny Barron. Studying at WAAPA gave
me a solid foundation for jazz, and gave me
a good understanding of playing in different
contexts.”
