New Klezmer Studios
Dear friends,
I’m delighted to announce the fall 2024 round of New Klezmer Courses with a fabulous new partner: The New England Conservatory of Music!
NEC is one of the world’s great music schools and it’s a huge honor to join with them to present these klezmer classes. I’ll be working out of their department of continuing education to offer these classes to the broader community starting in October.
Please join me for an in-person klezmer ensemble here in Boston or an online Introduction to Klezmer class that you can take anywhere in the world.
You can find more details and registration here.
See you soon at NEC!

What students are saying about New Klezmer Studios
“Nat's The Working Klezmer class is a wellspring of information and inspiration which dramatically clarified the path in front of me. The detailed organizational framework for how to put together a career alone is worth the cost of the class. But in addition to sharing his own systems, processes and experiences, he's finely attuned to the circumstances and goals of each student, offering tailored advice, inspiration and vision to each student.”
“Nat Seelen proves that klezmer lives!”
“There is a great balance between learning about the music's context, engaged and focused listening to examples, and then applying the skills and knowledge via our instruments. Nat has conceived of the course along a scaffold, so that we revisit information from early on in deeper, more specific ways that are really satisfying.”
“Nat’s Classic Klezmer course opens the door into the workings of klezmer and to what makes klezmer, well, klezmer.”
Nat is a great teacher, I’ve found his ideas re improvisation in klezmer really enlightening
“Super engaging and informative class! Nat brought us into the music from the get go and walked us through interesting examples of the music and explanations of the form and style.”
