IMEC Preparation with Craig Roselieb

Last spring the DGN Jazz Ensemble was honored with an invitation to perform this month (January 23, 2014) at the Illinois Music Education Conference in Peoria.  Students continue their work in preparing music for that important performance, and tonight the band welcomed Downers Grove South High School Music Teacher, Craig Roselieb, as a guest jazz mentor.  Mr. Roselieb is the sixth of seven guest-conductors who have agreed to serve as mentors to the band leading up to the January 23rd performance.  

Every member of the band enjoyed working with Mr. Roselieb tonight, and appreciated his
musical insights.  Following the full-band rehearsal, Mr. Roselieb worked specifically with the saxophones on jazz style and phrasing.

Thank you, Mr. Roselieb, for inspiring us with your musicianship tonight!
