Music for All Levels
No prior musical training is required. Students will learn to play a musical instrument of their choice
This group performs in two concerts during the school year and participates in music festivals.
Students study all forms of jazz as well as jazz improvisation, rock, and contemporary styles of music. Because it is a performing group, this class will participate at school concerts, Open House, jazz festivals, and in our community.
Listening to musical examples, attending concerts, and written tests are part of class assignments. This is a performing class.
Students are selected by audition and this is a performing group that participates in many school functions and community events.
Students study jazz improvisation and music theory and perform as part of the Spring Jazz Concert.
