Do you have an interest in jazz? Perhaps in music school and a career in music? This class is for you! We'll explore many different facets around the idea of playing in a jazz small group, based loosely around what you might experience in a university setting. We'll learn standards (forms, soloing, etc), deconstruct and write new tunes (composition), and explore the business side of music (booking gigs, recording, etc). Open instrumentation (e.g. piano/guitar, bass, drums + horns, not limited to that).
Rehearsals will be Friday from 6-7pm.
Limited spots are available!
Ages 13-18
