Jazz Band

Jazz Band is an after school activity; all rehearsals and performances will take place outside of the school day.

Jazz Band will meet on MONDAYS this school year.

With the exception of the rhythm section (piano, guitar, bass, drum-set), students participating in jazz band must also be taking band during the school day. Guitar/Bass students must feel comfortable with both the staff and chords in order to be successful.

The start of jazz band typically coincides with the start of the late bus.

Attached you will find a list of Jazz Artists that students should be listening to. You will also find the Concert Bb 12 Bar Blues (with the notes for each instrument indicated), that we will use during rehearsal to practice improvisation.
