The Cape Jazz Ensemble is the most active group in the Cape Instrumental Music Program. Cape Jazz performs at local events throughout the year and participates in a variety of jazz festivals and performances throughout the Mid-Atlantic states in the spring. Students learn advanced music, improvisation and spend a significant amount of time performing in and out of class. Students must meet prerequisite requirements (either previous course completion or an audition) in order to participate. Please contact Mr. Burkhart (christopher.burkhart@cape.k12.de.us) before registering for the class in order to set up an audition.
Jazz II is an after school extracurricular that begins after the marching band season concludes. This group is primarly for younger musicians and those trying out a new instrument in the jazz setting. While auditions are not required, certain sections with limited space (drumset, piano, etc), may require an audition for placement. All are welcome!
In addition we highly encourage participation in our general music course offerings at Cape High. Those courses include: AP Music Theory, Music Technology, Voice, Beginning Piano, Beginning Guitar
