Jazz Music Workshops with Mike Frost
Innovative learning with a real world professional player
Unique, innovative and personal Workshops for the professional or beginning improvisational musician, saxophone players and even non-musicians who are looking to learn more about jazz and the business of music.
While the primary focus is on jazz, we believe that the skills provided in our workshops are universal and invaluable for any style of music. After taking an MFWorkshop, you will find improved focus as well as new tools to continue your artistry in a more enjoyable and productive way. Our Northwest side of Chicago (Portage Park) location offers a great learning environment and opportunities to both observe and participate in interactive options.
Also, for the first time in over 10 years, Michael is now offering private lessons in his home studio. For intermediate and advanced sax players as well as improvisational instrumentalists of all types.
