*Testimonials:*


*Naomi has a way of harnessing creativity to aid self-expression while
spreading healing and equality through music.  A leader by example, she
skillfully does this in her own art, and inspires students how to as well.*
—*Dr. Doug Scarborough*, Director of Jazz Studies, Whitman College



*Naomi is calm, focused, brilliant and *cool*. She puts the most nervous
students at ease, adapts her content and presentation to meet every
player’s needs, and casts a spell over the whole group.*
—*Deb Schaaf*, Director of Bands and Jazz, Jane Addams Middle School



*In her improvisation workshop, she engaged students in guided activities
that gave them a great sense of confidence and ease at expressing
themselves through music., Naomi provided powerful techniques and clear
directions on using them to make great progress toward personal evolution,
And while she demanded a lot from the students, she also created a calm
atmosphere in which to work and explore, which made the benefits even more
effective..*
—*Jeffrey Chappell*, Director of Jazz Studies, Goucher College



*Naomi has developed very approachable techniques for getting non-jazz
students involved in basic improvising and really opening the students’
eyes & ears to various possibilities of expression. She has thought through
a lot of musical issues (developing your own voice) and life issues (where
you fit in the world and how you want to be perceived and accepted by
others regardless of your gender).  I applaud her for all of this!*

—*Ron Rudkin*, Professor of Music, University of North Carolina School of
the Arts



*Naomi Siegel conducted an exceptional workshop for the jazz students of
Garfield High School. The exercises Naomi used were engaging, thoughtful
and cultivated a strong feeling of teamwork and very sensitive listening. A
refreshing perspective on musicality.*
—*Jacob Zimmerman*, Director of Jazz Ensemble 3, Garfield High School
