He held many roles during his tenure at Shenandoah including Director of Jazz Studies for thirty years and served three terms as Instrumental Division Chair. Larson conducted the Conservatory Jazz Ensemble from 1987-2000, and taught courses in jazz history, jazz improvisation, jazz repertoire, jazz pedagogy, jazz theory, traditional theory, and private jazz piano instruction. His book, Arranging for the Small Jazz Ensemble (Armfield Academic Press) has received glowing reviews from jazz educators and students across the country and internationally and is used extensively at the collegiate level. His latest book, Practical Jazz Piano: A Comprehensive Method, serves as a culmination of his teaching materials and philosophy gained by almost fifty years of teaching jazz piano.

Hope to see our regulars too! @willdmgn @mrpercussive @jordarr8994 to name a few

We’ll also announce the winner of the Loudoun Jazz Society Senior Scholarship.
