Duke’s album recordings include Monk By 2 with Joe Pinzaronne (Sony/Columbia), Saint Ambrose with Rodney Waschka II (Capstone). He recently recorded a piano and sax duo album, Passing Through, with pianist/composer Kurt Stallmann (available on Amazon).
Duke innovated multi-genre pedagogy on the saxophone, and in 1989 he developed the first music curriculum in the United States that applied the Feldenkrais® Method to reduce performance stress and heighten performing awareness.
Steve Duke is a Northern Illinois University Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus. He earned Bachelor's and Master's degrees in music at the University of North Texas and is a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Teacher.

A JazzPac Virtual Event
Feldenkrais Workshop for Singers, 2021
As performers, our bodies are an integral part of our creative work.
The Feldenkrais® Method of Somatic Education is an effective way to become aware of how to sing with greater clarity and ease.
This workshop includes simple movement lessons designed to increase mobility, reduce tension, and improve singing.
You will have the opportunity to hear how the lessons affect the voice.
There will be time for discussion, and resources will be available to facilitate further study.
Everyone is encouraged to wear comfortable clothing that allows for free movement and to bring a floor mat.
