Adult Jazz Workshop

Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of jazz with our Adult Jazz Workshop! Whether you're new to jazz or looking to enhance your skills, our ensemble offers a fun and supportive environment to let your creativity shine. Get started improvising or expand your jazz concepts!

Find out about how to listen and the concept of deep listening. Learn melodies and bass lines by ear so you can hear chords. Explore the recordings of jazz masters to learn style, rhythm, articulation, licks, riffs, and the many nuances of jazz language.

We work with foundational songs from the Jazz and standards repertoire to learn the nuts and bolts of practical theory in use. Then, if we want to, we can throw away the “rules’ and do whatever we like. Everyone is encouraged to ask questions, discuss opinions, and generally communicate in English, as well as in Jazz.

Being comfortably proficient on your instrument or voice is recommended. Please feel free to stop in to experience what we do.
