The Roger Ingram Calendar is online with performance and venue details. Any recording sessions, club dates/casuals that Roger does while at home are not necessarily mentioned on the calendar. The purpose of the calendar is to inform people around the globe when Roger will be in your area doing a live performance so you may take advantage of the opportunity to schedule a lesson or clinic with him.

Similar to the appointment he held at the University of Miami in the early 1990s, Roger is maintaining a position as "Artist in Residence" at the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University. During the summer months, in addition to public performances and recording sessions, he teaches from home in Chicago. See the calendar for details about his upcoming activities.

Mr. Ingram is credited as a private instructor and clinician at Universities and High Schools around the world. For details, see the Clinics page. For details on upcoming performances, see the Calendar. And for information about having a private lesson with Roger, you may see the Lessons page.

If you are interested in scheduling a lesson, email or call Vic at 708.250.7660 to setup a lesson time.
 

I hope everyone enjoys these updates, and I'll continue to keep you informed of Roger's activities. Thanks for stopping by,
