Jazz

THURSDAYS 4:30-5:30 (immediately after Band)

Open to students in grades 8-12 with a fair level of ability on their instrument and significant ability reading music.

This class moves quickly through a wide variety of repertoire. We start with lead sheets and work on learning how to improvise. We may add written charts as well. Some tunes work for us and others don't.

Some students may be able to transfer to Senior Band at 2nd semester. This is up to the Director.

Instrumental Music 10-20-30 earn 5 credits for a full year even as a beginner. For those in grade 12 we can try to make arrangements to "fast-track" to earn 3 20-level and 3 30-level credits in the final year.
