CLINIC TESTIMONIALS
".... It was clear from the start that Justin had goals to accomplish within the session, offering performance and dialogue that he believed would be most effective with university-age students; and he targeted perfectly ... they made our band room seem like the center of the jazz universe for those 90 minutes" -Antonio Garcia, Director VCU Jazz
"Trinity students often have the benefit of witnessing music-making at the highest level by visiting professional musicians like Kauflin. It's valuable that students get to interact with the artists so that they realize they are regular people ... an artist like Justin, who is only a few years older than the students, has a particular resonance" -Trinity Episcopal IB Music Program
"Justin did a fabulous job with the students and I couldn't have been more pleased with the Master Class! He is a natural teacher with his honesty, sensitivity, temperament and ability to inspire. They appreciated the thoughtful comments and practical advice, and felt so inspired after the clinic" -Liz Barnes, Director Governor's School for the Arts
