Jazz Lab (Offered 1st period during the school day)

The Jazz Lab is an additional opportunity for students to explore jazz styles and improvisation during the school day. Students will need to know how to play their instruments and  be able to read musical notation in the range of their instruments. Students will be provided with the opportunity to write music/licks for public performance.  Students will play alone (in front of the class/performance setting) and with other students (in a jazz ensemble class and performance setting).  Finally, students involved with the Jazz Lab will be expected to play with the Jazz Band.
