The new episode of the For the Greater Groove Podcast is out now!

Always an insightful and entertaining conversationalist, Matt Glaser is one of the most important educators in the non-classical string world. Matt served as the chair of the string department at Berklee College of Music for many years and was responsible for recruiting an all-star faculty there. He is the founder and Artistic Director of Berklee's American Roots Program.

It's Valentine's Day and we we're doing a special FREE WORKSHOP on how to play the groove on Adele's "Send My Love" tomorrow evening, Thursday, Feb. 15 at 8:30 central, 9:30 eastern. (That's an hour later than usual.)

I'm looking forward co-leading this workshop with Aria Stiles, one of the instructors at the Strum Bowing Groove Academy.

All levels welcome! Click here to register.
