Meet Calvin Graves — Pro Teacher

Calvin is one of DMI's Pro Teachers. Pro Teachers are working professional musicians who incorporate practical knowledge that directly translates to practical skills while performing. A Pro Teacher might say:

"That works perfect in here while we study, but performing live try this..."
"Remember when you are on stage with others to be aware of what they're doing."
"Listen to the group and blend your sound, you can't just focus on your tone."

These tips are invaluable and make the transition from studying to application of a skill much more smooth, guaranteeing a more successful first impression with any audition.
