Re: What is meant by "Klezmer Style"

You learned to play in band and orchestra by listening to what others did and through guidance from the conductor. In swing/jazz band, you did the same, and undoubtedly listened to jazz performers and copied what they did.

Playing klezmer style is not something you can learn overnight, because it involves things you haven't done before, and in fact have been taught to avoid, such as pitch bending, wide vibrato and big changes in tone color. You also need to learn how scales other than major and minor work. Just as you did before, you learn by listening and imitating until you get the feel for it. Begin by listening to Dave Tarras on YouTube, who's about the best there is.
