Samuel Klapper (Shmuel C.) offers an eclectic feel to music of all kinds on his violin by fusing the acoustic, electric, cultural, and the avant-garde. His studies range from working with California-based reknown teachers such as Igor Veligan & Antoine Van Dongen to performing in the underground west coast bass electronic music scene on violin with producers such as Lavendar Fields & Blissai. He is deeply influenced by intersectional artists of all kinds: Prince, Chick Corea, Jennifer Higdon, Kamasi Washington, Matt Haze, G Jones, Tsuruda, as well as many artists from the Wormhole Music crew. Samuel also has a BA in Political Economy from UC Berkeley which landed him on the path of the hermeneutical endeavor to fuse horizons thru his art on both an intellectual and spiritual level.

COACHING MAY INCLUDE:

• Classical and improvisational violin (acoustic & electric) instruction that will focus just as much on technique, sound, ear training, rhythm, and theory as it does feeling, color, and story telling.

• Avant garde approaches to your instrument that push and pull the range of the medium thru extended techniques.

• Incorporating improvisation from beginner to advanced levels over electronic music from all camps.
