Students and parents had a chance to hear from BluesEd Directors about the upcoming performances & expectations for BluesEd this season.   Additionally, BluesEd Clinicians, Ron Cooley and Carlos Figueroa spoke to the BluesEd students regarding their expectations this year.  Ron instructed students on the importance of charting music.  Carlos spoke to students on practices, performances and workshops.  Hope everyone took great notes from our experienced & talented Clinicians.  Our BluesEd students and parents also had a chance to hear from one of their own, Graham Brooks on Voodoo Vinyl's experience at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in January.  Graham spoke from his heart about how attending the IBC was an amazing experience for him & his band.  See more about Voodoo Vinyl's experience here:  BluesEd blog.
