Description:

Brian Lynch from NYU discusses his approach to leading and working with student ensembles. Mr. Lynch likes to play with the students because he believes he can more easily convey style, blending, same time feel, swinging, playing together, finding each other in the ensemble, complimenting each other, and being able to make a statement or tell a story with the music. This is how he learned the important basics of playing in an ensemble and wants to pass this along to his students. Mr. Lynch records these rehearsals with his students so that they can then download and listen to the recordings.
