Jazz Band

Jazz Band is for advanced instrumentalists who have developed their skills in TAFA Concert Bands or String Programs and are ready for the next step...playing and learning jazz in a high-energy big band setting. While continuing in your concert band or string experience, you’ll sharpen your technique, expand your improvisation skills, and experience the energy, fun, and creativity that jazz brings.
