Calling All Aspiring Young Musicians! Join Our Jazz Ensemble

Jazz Forum Arts is excited to announce a new student ensemble program for aspiring young musicians, grades 5-12, offering them the opportunity to become jazz improvisers.

Under the direction of Ron Vincent and Nancy Kennedy and using a repertoire of blues and jazz standards, these ensembles will give students a chance to learn the tools of improvisation and basic jazz harmony. Students will explore jazz while playing in a group setting of their peers under the experienced guidance of the ensemble directors. All instruments are welcome.

Please register your interest before the first session. We will get back to you via email or phone.

The program includes ten 90 minute weekly classes and an end-of-semester concert. In order to participate it is recommended students have a minimum two years experience on their instrument and a basic knowledge of major scales, fingerings and are comfortable reading music.

There will be a consultation for admission to help ensure balanced ensembles. We welcome all interested students.
