Jazz Band
Have you ever played in a band and wished you could pick up your instrument again? Do you have kids currently involved in band and would like the opportunity for them to get extra play time OR would you enjoy playing music with them?
It doesn’t matter how many years you’ve played, how many years ago you played or what level you are at. The opportunity to have fun and enjoy making music with others is a rewarding experience.If you can play an instrument and know how to ready music, then this is the program for you!
Our Jazz Band is a program for musicians 16+ who have performed on woodwind, keyboard, brass and percussion instruments and would like the opportunity to develop those music skills in a dynamic setting.
In Jazz Band, participants will perform a variety of classic jazz standards in the form of published charts, “Real Book” lead sheets and personal arrangements.
Students will develop both reading and phrasing in a jazz style and have the opportunity to improvise solos. The instructor encourages a love of the jazz style in the classes and some time and attention is spent listening to, and appreciating jazz music! Everyone is included (brass, woodwinds and rhythm section instruments)!
