Jazz Combo Program

The varied instrumentation Jazz Imprvosiation & Repertoire group class otherwise known as Jazz Combo offers its participants a unique opportunity to learn from master faculty and guest clinicians in a professionally equipped facility over the period of 10 weeks. The sessions culminate with a public Recital performance during Fall and Spring on a professional stage, and Jazz Juries at the end of Winter and Summer sessions.

In addition, group class participants are able to take private lessons without the required registration fee and discounted rate of over 20% on an ad hoc basis and are often invited to participate in the community outreach functions of the school, such as local gigs, jam sessions, and other presentations. We hope to hear from you soon!

For more details please check out the Syllabus and the Academic Calendar. Students must sign and return the Terms of Services Agreement prior to class start time.
