FEATURED AUTHOR
Gregory Jones
I have been teaching music at the university level for over 30 years and am also an active performer on the trumpet and conductor. I have been blessed to work with great teachers and professionals in the music world including Wynton Marsalis, Barbara Butler, Donald Hunsberger, Chris Martin, Randy Brecker, Leonard Candelabra, Charles Geyer and so many others. I still am enthralled in sharing the joy of music with all types of audiences and travel often performing and doing masterclasses.
