About Me

Frank HerzbergBassist Frank Herzberg - born in East Berlin - began playing drums at the age of 7. Influenced strongly by his older brother, the bassist Hartmut Herzberg, he switched to the instrument which captured his heart. Frank won a scholarship to study at the renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston. There he was lucky to take classes with Charlie Banacos and Hal Crook in Jazz Improvisation and graduated from Berklee with the Bachelor of Music in Jazz Composition and Performance. Frank returned to Berlin, where he completed his classical studies at Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler. Since 1997, Frank has lived in São Paulo, Brazil, where he works as a bassist with different jazz formations and is a member of the bass section in the Symphonic Band of São Paulo. Frank associates with the finest Brasilian musicians and directs his own recording studio and music school in São Paulo.Visit his site at : www.frankherzberg.com

Band Members: Study online with Frank - Nowadays studying over the internet has become a practical way to learn something new in the comfort of one's home. This is also true for any music course. In the 1980's Frank studied with the legendary Boston teacher Charlie Banacos (teacher of Mike Stern, John Scofield, Michael Brecker etc). After studying with Charlie in person, when Frank moved from Boston he continued to work with Charlie by sending tapes back and forth. At first, Frank was skeptical about this method, but soon became convinced of its merits and continued to work with Charlie from a distance. Frank has received many requests to offer his courses online from students who do not live close enough to take lessons in person. Technology has improved the possibilities for distance learning. Now you can study Frank's jazz improvisation course by sending video or audio to his e-mail. Along with individualized exercises, you'll receive videos of Frank's students playing certain exercises and recordings of the masters (with reduced tempo) to analyze or transcribe. Take a look at this students video. frankherzberg.comAny questions contact Frank: [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------- Estude online com Frank - Nos dias de hoje, ter-se aulas de qualquer coisa, inclusive de instrumento à distância não é mais algo impossível. Graças à internet, você pode ter acesso a qualquer tipo de informação em casa facilitando o seu dia a dia. Levando-se em conta esta facilidade, e resolvendo o problema de muitas pessoas que moram longe e não podem ter aulas ao vivo, Frank Herzberg organizou seu curso de improvisação on-line.Charlie Banacos, grande mestre de improvisação nos EUA (professor de Mike Stern, John Scofield, Michael Brecker etc) usou fitas cassetes para dar seu curso durante anos. Estas viajavam entre professor e aluno com as informações de um e a resposta do outro. Em 1989 quando Frank começou a ter aulas à distância com Charlie, confessa que ficou um pouco desconfiado da eficácia deste método, mas confirma que funcionou, e muito bem. Felizmente, hoje com a internet é muito mais rápido e fácil de se mandar audio e vídeo.Você pode estudar o curso integral de improvisação de Frank Herzberg através do seu e-mail. Neste curso é mandado um material individualizado para cada aluno, além de um material extra - vídeos de alunos tocando alguns exercícios e vídeos e gravações em tempo reduzido de mestres da improvisação para ser analisado e transcrito. Você pode estudar na sua casa, gravar e mandar os exercicios e perguntas de volta em mp3 ou mp4.Para mais perguntas ou dúvidas entre em contato com Frank. [email protected]
