Jazz Lab
Jazz Lab is an exciting and dynamic class designed for students eager to delve into the fundamentals of jazz within a collaborative jazz ensemble setting. This course offers a comprehensive introduction to proper jazz articulation, tone production, improvisation, jazz scales, and various subgenres of jazz including swing, latin, rock, and jazz fusion.
