Richard Brooks

Richard Brooks has been an active musician in the Connecticut-New York area for over 40 years. He has worked as a violinist in both classical and jazz genres, as a teacher, and as a conductor. He has recorded 2 CD's of his original pop/jazz and was a featured artist at the 1989 New Haven Jazz Festival. Brooks has conducted for school festivals in Connecticut and in Westchester and Putnam counties in New York. He held conducting positions for community and youth orchestras in Danbury, Cheshire and Norwalk Connecticut. He stresses a foundation of classical technique in his teaching, but encourages branching out to jazz, rock, or fiddling once a level of competence has been achieved.
