Services Description

While primarily a jazz violinist, Ellie is able to take on many kinds of work. This includes but is not limited to session recordings, theater/broadway, jazz ensembles, bluegrass ensembles, and television work. She can sight read both notation and chord charts, and has strong improvisational abilities. She also doubles on five string violin and is able to play viola parts if a double is required for this reason. From jazz bands to hip-hop orchestras, Goodman is something of a chameleon and able to blend into whatever the job calls for.
