Jazz Band

Purpose of the Activity

Jazz Band is the place to be if you are curious about jazz music. No prior experience with jazz music or improvisation is necessary! In Jazz Band you will learn how to play in common jazz styles, the basics of improvisation, and a bit about the history of jazz music. You will also be introduced to many recordings of master jazz musicians on various instruments. Most importantly, Jazz Band is a place to make music with your friends and be yourself!

Prior experience on the instrument you are playing in Jazz Band is required (you should not be a beginner on your Jazz Band instrument).

Certain instruments such as Violin, Viola, Cello, Electric Bass, Double Bass, Guitar, and Drum Set have specific prerequisite skills to join Jazz Band.
