Classes For Teens
Youth Jazz Ensemble
The Bloomingdale School of Music is excited to launch our Youth Jazz Ensemble this Fall. The ensemble will perform music from the Great American Songbook, as well as diverse musical selections from across the globe.
Ideal for high school and middle school students who enjoy playing in a group.
What you will learn
The group is open to young musicians (ages 12-18) who are excited to explore collaborative music-making. The ensemble will perform regularly at the newly renovated Bloomingdale School of Music performance hall. Participants will play the music of Charlie Parker, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Miles Davis, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and more. The weekly ensemble will be directed by saxophonist Daniel Bennett. Participants are encouraged to take private lessons.
Collaborative Jazz
Students will work together in ensemble to build up repertoire, improvisation skills and learn classic jazz form.
SOCIAL ENSEMBLE
Get to know other singers from the school while learning music together in a fun setting.
Performance Opportunities
The Youth Jazz Ensemble will have the opportunity to perform for family and friends at least once a semester.

MUSIC EDUCATION CHANGES LIVES
We provide access to music education to anyone who seeks it, regardless of economic status, ability, ethnicity, or religion, which has a profound impact on individual lives as well as on our entire community.
We offer Need-based financial assistance
Our goal is to make music education accessible and to remove the financial barrier that may prevent students from participating. Therefore, we offer need-based financial aid to as many students as possible.
