The Jazz Combo will serve as a great supplement to students participating in their jazz bands at school or those who are interested in learning to play jazz music. The majority of the focus will be on improvisation within the jazz genre as well as performance practice. This includes: jazz rhythmic feels, soloing techniques, arranging jazz tunes and interacting with other musicians. Each class will have a music theory component, such as learning intervals, chord symbols, chord types and jazz scales and modes. Students will be encouraged to work as a group to develop 3-4 standard jazz songs towards being ready for a performance at the end of the semester.
