This hands-on jazz ensemble experience helps students of all instruments develop the skills needed to improvise and perform in a jazz ensemble setting. We’ll learn how to play from a Real Book, how to listen to and interact with each other while improvising in groups, and explore elements of melody, harmony, rhythm, structure, and expression through the standard jazz repertoire.
No previous experience in improvising or playing jazz is necessary, making this class perfect not only for beginning jazz musicians looking to improve their skills but also for classical and contemporary musicians wishing to branch out into new musical territory. The camp will culminate in a student recital, showcasing what they have learned.
