Description
Learn how to play real jazz in the same way the pros do: by improvising. This jazz combo will take the raw materials of any jazz standard—melody and chords—and use them to craft an original arrangement for a wide variety of tunes from the Great American Songbook. Never improvised or played jazz before? No problem. Take a chance and be amazed by what you’ll be able to do after just one week!
Students entering grades 7, 8, and 9 should have at least two years of playing experience, and students entering grades 10, 11, and 12 should have at least three years of playing experience. These groups rehearse daily for three hours for one week in preparation for a concert at the end of the week. These groups are coached by our elite faculty who are subject matter experts.
NOTE: Limited spaces are available for students who have the requisite experience, but are outside of the suggested age range. CALL or EMAIL for details.
