Recordings to Explore:
I will start with a list of artists for you to look up on your music listening platform of choice.
I will also include Spotify links and playlists for you if you do Spotify.
If you don't have Spotify, consider downloading the free version to support your student to explore this music. It is an incredible database of music! It is all I used for listening and studying through 8 years of music school and still use daily.
Many of these artists are featured in the videos on the "Watch" page as well, head over there and check them out!
