Jerry 老師

作為一位曾經獲獎嘅爵士作曲家、結他手同古典鋼琴家， Jerry 嘅音樂熱誠係用爵士樂同西方古典音樂嘅語言去創造獨特嘅聲音。 Jerry 嘅作品已經獲得國際爵士編曲家同作曲家協會（ ISJAC ）嘅認可，佢喺2022年5月嘅新音樂工作坊研討會上發表演講，同埋2022年10月嘅首個網上新音樂工作坊。 Jerry 喺全國知名嘅北科羅拉多大學完成咗爵士樂作曲嘅碩士學位。佢嘅作曲同編曲經常喺頂尖嘅大樂隊、工作室管弦樂團同聲樂爵士合奏團嘅演唱會入面出現。佢亦都做過唔同情況嘅編曲，包括遊輪同音樂準備。 作為一個教育工作者， Jerry 定期喺網上同親身上堂。佢喺新斯科舍省安提哥尼什同科羅拉多州博爾德教咗結他、鋼琴、理論同作曲嘅私人課程超過3年。 Jerry 嘅學生嚟自唔同嘅背景。 Jerry 亦都係北卡羅萊納大學嘅研究生助理，協助學生喺爵士樂同編曲課程，同埋爵士樂系嘅活動。 喺2023年2月，傑瑞為爵士大型合奏團首演咗佢第一首多樂章作品《失落之城》。呢篇文係講緊 Jerry 曾經叫做屋企嘅城市，而呢個城市已經變成一個佢已經認唔到嘅地方。挫折、神秘、憤怒同孤獨嘅感覺，係透過三部分編曲嘅旅程去呈現出嚟。 As an award-winning jazz composer, guitarist, and classical pianist, Jerry’s musical passion is to create unique sounds using the language of jazz and Western classical music. Jerry’s pieces have been recognized by the International Society of Jazz Arrangers and Composers (ISJAC), where he presented at the New Music Workshop Symposium in May 2022, and the first online New Music Workshop in October 2022. His arrangement of “The Scientist” by Coldplay has also been recognized by the Downbeat Student Awards in 2023. Jerry completed his Master’s in jazz composition at the nationally renowned University of Northern Colorado. His compositions and arrangements were regularly featured in concerts by the top big band, studio orchestras, and vocal jazz ensembles. He has also worked as an arranger-for-hire for various situations, including cruise ships and music preparation. As an educator, Jerry regularly teaches lessons online and in person. He has been teaching private lessons on the guitar, piano, theory, and composition for more than 3 years, in Antigonish, NS, and Boulder, CO. Jerry’s students came from diverse backgrounds. Jerry also serves as a graduate assistant at UNC, assisting students in jazz and arranging courses, and events from the jazz department. In 2023 February, Jerry premiered his first multi-movement composition for jazz large ensemble, Lost City. This piece is about the city Jerry once called home, which has become a place that can no longer be recognizable to him. The feeling of frustration, mystery, anger, and loneliness, was portrayed through the journey of the three-part arrangement.
