Keri loves helping young bands, soloists and vocal ensembles tighten up their tuning, loosen up their swing, and get deep in the groove. Whether as guest clinician for a few hours, or featured artist for slam bang week of workshops and concerts — Keri will work with you to help support your overall goals for the ensemble and provide insights for students and teachers alike regarding real world challenges for the touring musician.
