Classes For Adults
Adult Jazz Ensemble
The jazz ensemble is a place where students can explore music in the jazz tradition, particularly bebop, post-bop, Latin, and Brazilian styles.
Students will learn improvisation through the study and performance of jazz and blues. All instruments are welcome. At least one year of instrumental study and the ability to read music are prerequisites.
What you will learn
All instruments get involved in improvising! Players learn a jazz standard together then explore the world of improvising over chord changes and in longer solo sections.
Group Setting
Students are in a supportive group environment to allow safe exploration without the nerves of being on stage as a performer.
Repertoire
Students explore music in all jazz genres - bebop, post-bop, latin and Brazilian jazz.
Performance
The jazz ensemble is invited to play at multiple events throughout the semester for Bloomingdale's community.
