Dan Hermes
Classigroov: Workbook and Lessons   


"With Classigroov, Dan Hermes provides classical musicians with a direct way to start improvising. Following his guidelines, they can acquire the necessary skills to make music in a new way and expand the breadth of their musical awareness."

Marc Rossi, Composer/Pianist
Professor, Berklee College of Music


"Classigroov is the perfect transition into improvisation for the classically trained musician.

As a classically trained musician, I have learned to strictly follow stuctured melodies and rhythms. As a result, I have always been intimidated by improvisation. The exercises in the Classigroov Workbook provide the structured framework I need to feel comfortable, while allowing me to push my boundaries and creativity." - Molly Eckman, flutist, Boston, MA

"Classigroov should push classical music forward and break the barriers that currently stifle it. The workbook grooves are catchy and this is a fun way to learn to improvise." - Mark Perreault, film composer, Los Angeles, CA
