Many of the Swing Machine members are music educators. Besides our own performances, we do a lot of work with student groups, giving jazz workshops at high schools and playing as a featured band at jazz festivals. Some of the members serve as adjudicators at such events. The Swing Machine is also available to actually sit-in with school groups for real, one-on-one demonstrations in proper big band jazz playing. Our director, Bob Feldbush, has over fifty years of experience in working with school and professional bands. He is always happy to share his extensive knowledge with students and other music educators.
