Hello, I'm Dave Anderson and I have been studying with Eddie for about six and a half years. I am an elementary band instructor for the Santa Fe Public Schools and have also worked as a performing musician for close to forty years primarily playing saxophone, flute and clarinet.

I have done recording, stage shows, and musicals and have been fortunate to have worked with such greats as Mel Torme, Ella Fitzgerald, Glen Campbell, Rosemary Clooney, Linda Ronstadt and others as well as the New Mexico Symphony
Orchestra and the Santa Fe Women¹s Ensemble. These days I get a lot of enjoyment from playing in small jazz groups, taking on special projects, and working with Eddie.

Within the past several months, Eddie has encouraged me to write my own etudes which are sometimes based on motifs taken from other pieces, but mainly they come from themes inspired by Eddie himself. Etude ³Number 7² is derived from our discussion of the strength and beauty resulting from a sequence of thirds (individual notes and chords), both major and minor.

Chromaticism is used throughout the etude to provide interest and to ³shade² the various chord tones. -Enjoy!

More great works coming soon.
