Education/Performance

A Senior Lecturer at Dartmouth College, Fred Haas teaches Jazz Improvisation, Jazz History, Music Theory, Saxophone, Jazz Piano and directs several jazz combos. Fred also teaches saxophone at the University of Vermont and he is the Founder and Director of Interplay Jazz Camp, a week-long holistic jazz workshop that integrates meditation, yoga and natural foods to enhance creativity and support a relaxed approach to practicing and performing.

Fred also runs his own CD company, JazzToons, that has produced several small group jazz CDs. He is an active performer, playing both piano and saxophone with groups in New England and beyond.

Jazz Historian Peter Bodge wrote, “Fred communicates...he consistently displays not merely a knowledge of his craft, but a sincere dedication to sharing those ideas and ideals with others. As a musician, he is an intelligent and fiery improviser, a harmonic wizard: one who plays music, not just the saxophone (or piano), and all with warmth, wit, and sincerity.”
