Jazz Ensemble Pin
We hope you will join us all season for One Book, One Chicago!
A special thanks to Ursula for putting together this class.
Today you will create jazz instrument pin using Inkscape and Tinkercad, a 3D printer, and a pin with glue. By the end, we will have a jazz ensemble. A jazz ensemble is a group of musicians who play improvise. Common instruments in a jazz ensemble include the upright bass, piano, drum, trumpet, saxophone, and guitar. Get inspired by this performance by Chicago artists the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble:
