“At the recent ITG Conference, Chase Sanborn presented a phenomenal session on jazz improvisation. Chase explains improvisation in a way that is non-threatening, musically or intellectually. He breaks it down to a manageable set of things to think about, focusing on rhythm, melody and harmony–in that order–and emphasizing quality versus quantity in our melodic approach. Sanborn challenged the audience to open up our ears and minds, and to break down musical assumptions. He gave us a whole list of things to think about, and created a satisfying musical experience for all concerned. A lot of light bulbs went on during this session!”
“Chase Sanborn made a lasting impression on our students. Everyone was inspired by his musicianship and artistry as a performer—and equally by his presentations in classes on a wide variety of subjects. Chase is able to work with students of all abilities and provides a wealth of valuable and well-organized information in imaginative ways. He is encouraging and supportive with those to whom topics are new, and challenges the more experienced players. It was terrific having him here on campus, and we look forward to having him back again!”
“Chase’s residency at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater was inspirational to all of the students and faculty. He is a great communicator, both as a teacher and as a player. We’d love to have him back every year!”
“Chase Sanborn has a natural gift for engaging and involving an audience. He speaks with the insight of an experienced insider, sharing a wealth of honest and knowledgeable information about music and the music business. Listening to him play at each session made us all want to go out and practice. Chase’s positive and upbeat outlook made a lasting impact on our students-I can hardly believe the difference in what I am hearing already. I am thrilled that they had the chance to work with him!”
“Chase Sanborn’s Jazz Tactics was one of the most engaging, informative and entertaining workshops I have ever attended. The feedback from the participants was overwhelmingly positive. I would present this session again in a heartbeat!”
“Of all the clinics that I sponsored at the store, Chase Sanborn’s was one of the most well received. Everybody wants to know when he is coming back!”
Jimmy Edwards (Dick Akright's Music Center)
