	"...how fortunate Basham's students are to be studying with this multifaceted, sensitive musician." - Naples Daily News Glenn Basham is Associate Professor at the University of Miami , where he teaches violin and also one of the few courses in the country in improvisation for string players. "There is a revolution going on in string teaching today. Classical training is re-emphasizing improvisation, and vice versa. There is this great duality. In classical music the creativity comes from interpretation and emotional impact, where in jazz you have to become a spontaneous creator of notes. Meeting both these challenges simultaneously creates a tremendous creative energy!" - GB
Glenn was on the editorial committee of American String Teacher and served as a panelist to the 2001 International Association of Jazz Educators convention in New York City. He is actively involved with youth orchestras in Florida, giving workshops, master lessons and performances.
