" The jazz program at MIC is amazing! Students play with other talented and passionate musicians from around Chicagoland. As a band director for 30 years, I know the importance of having students develop their skills in both private lessons and groups outside of their school. As a jazz parent, it's great to know that my own kids are being taught by such a talented and caring faculty. I would STRONGLY recommend this program! "

Basic Teaching Philosophy or Special Music Interests/Specialties

Steve's philosophy on teaching focuses on where the students are, and then using that to try to meet them at that level and go from there. The goal with this is that over time he and the student will focus on technique, applied theory, listening, and repertoire in order to develop the overall musicianship needed to play at a high level. Considering that different styles of playing develop different skill sets, he enjoys working with Classical, Jazz, and other popular styles.

Basic Teaching Philosophy or Special Music Interests/Specialties

Formalized Drumset instruction is still relatively young in regards to pedagogy. My approach is to combine elements of academic methods from “classical” percussion study, tried and true drumset methods, and more modern resources such as play along tracks, “drum-removal” apps and YouTube to impart less codified techniques to growing drumset students.

Three Questions

What do you love about playing your instrument?

Three Questions Answer

I'm performing and teaching music every day. I love the varied personal interactions I experience in these situations. Some days I'm dealing with theater and classical musicians. The next I'm playing original jazz music with friends. I may be teaching beginners on Wednesday and experienced Jazz majors on Thursdays.

Of course the music is of upmost in importance, but the interpersonal interaction is equally valued. I relish discussing music dreams, concepts, or just "hangin'" after a gig talking about whatever comes to mind.

Everyone involved in music has a story. I love that my musical career finds me experiencing all these fascinating stories.

Anything else we should know?

Wood, after all, owns a big and burly tone on tenor, her husky sound, deep rhythmic accents and prolific phrasemaking consistently commanding attention.
– Howard Reich, CHICAGO TRIBUNE

One of the pleasures of attending the Chicago Jazz Festival over Labor Day weekend each year is being able to hear the bevy of local players who make up the windy city jazz scene. Last year’s treat was Juli Wood, a gutsy tenor and baritone saxophonist who also sings with the earthy gusto of an R&B diva filtered through a hard bop sensibility.
– Bill Milkowski, JAZZTIMES

At first glance, Wood, an affable sort, doesn’t strike one as the feisty saxist she is. In this world where labels take a strong hold of peoples’ predetermined images like a gripping vice, it’s awfully good to know that there are people like Juli Wood… Wood’s playing that night at Andy’s made believers out of the packed house.

Basic Teaching Philosophy or Special Music Interests/Specialties

I want the students to have fun with music ! I work on ear training with them as well as reading music. It's important to get them playing along with backing tracks to get the feeling of playing with a jazz combo. I try to take the mystery out of improvisation by explaining how chords are made and how to use knowledge of chords and scales to improvise.

Three Questions

A few of my favorite things…

What does music mean to you?

What do you love about playing your instrument?

Three Questions Answer

I'm so excited to work on a project about one of my favorite jazz composers, Thelonious Monk. My grant from the Jazz Institute allows me to compose music and write lyrics to existing Monk tunes in 2021.

Music has been my career and life for the last 35 years ! So many good times traveling and playing with great musicians in other cities, Detroit, Milwaukee, Helsinki, Barcelona, Stockholm... and the musicians here in Chicago have inspired and mentored me so much. I've been so lucky to meet and play with wonderful musicians !

I love the sound of the tenor saxophone ! It can be very emotional quite like the voice. ( I also love to sing ) I first fell in love with the sax watching the Chicago based TV show, Soul Train! Back in the day bands had horn sections, James Brown, KC and the Sunshine Band, Sly Stone. There are so many great jazz saxophonists to listen to and learn from. It's a never ending journey, really learning an instrument, but so satisfying and worthwhile.
