Contrary to common belief, jazz improvisation is a learned skill. Jazz is a language developed over time through the process of listening and imitation. Through this program, students will learn to improvise small phrases and melodies which, eventually, can be linked together into longer musical sentences that can communicate ideas and feelings. No prior experience of playing jazz is required. This class is perfect for the novice who would like to learn to play in jazz combos or bands. All instruments are welcome.
