Description
Ever wonder how Jazz musicians are able to improvise what they play? Well this is your chance to learn, straight from teachers in Lexington’s award winning Jazz program. Our focus will be a simple, accessible approach to improvising melodies. We will also work to develop the important basic skills necessary to play in an ensemble. New students and returning musicians are welcome and will be placed in an ensemble with other students of similar experience. Students should be able to read music and should possess age-appropriate facility on their applied instrument. All instruments are welcome; but we especially need bass, drums, piano and guitar players! Please indicate your instrument upon registration. Interested students are encouraged to attend both weeks.
Justin Aramati and Toby Forman are music teachers in the Lexington Public Schools.
