Jazz Lab

Jazz Lab is an exciting and dynamic class designed for students eager to delve into the fundamentals of jazz within a collaborative jazz ensemble setting. This course offers a comprehensive introduction to proper jazz articulation, tone production, improvisation, jazz scales, and various subgenres of jazz including swing, latin, rock, and jazz fusion. 

​

Jazz Lab is an ideal opportunity for those wishing to explore a secondary jazz instrument or for individuals seeking to gain more experience on their primary instrument. This class will prepare students with the foundational skills necessary for future participation in more advanced ensembles, such as Fusion. To ensure a beneficial and cohesive learning environment, acceptance into Intermediate Band and approval from an instructor are prerequisites for enrollment.

 

It is highly recommended that students simultaneously participate in a theory class. Those with previous theory experience may take a placement test to find the most appropriate level for them. Be sure to add it to your cart when enrolling!
