Ed Saindon & Billy Novick - Bluesette

Ed Saindon - vibes and Billy Novick - clarinet playing Toots Thieleman's Bluesette at their Sunday brunch gig at 75 Chestnut Street in Beacon Hill, Boston. Sorry about the crowd noise. It was a busy Sunday with quite a few big parties. (I'm not complaining though. It's a very nice gig and I always have a blast playing with Billy.)

Ed Saindon Private Lessons via Skype/Face Time: For anyone that would like to take a private lesson and can't make the trip to Boston, I'm now available for lessons via Skype or Face Time. Areas covered in the lessons include: technique (fulcrum grip, dampening skills, approaches to sticking, utilization of four mallets), solo playing concepts, improvisational techniques, comping (voicing techniques and concepts), jazz theory, repertoire development, how and what to practice,...

I've been teaching some Skype/Face Time lessons with some students from Europe recently. I have scanned material that I use with my Berklee students and sent the material as PDFs via email. Students have been sending me written out solos (illustrating a specific improv concept) and chord voicings for tunes that we have been working on. So far, the lessons have gone pretty smooth and have been effective. Anyone that is interested can find out more information on my website under Music Education/Private Lessons.
