The Jazz program offers students an opportunity to learn how to listen to and play in jazz ensembles. Students who would like to try their hand at small ensemble work can do so in our jazz combos. All instruments are welcome to take part in this program. The jazz program is organized so that students of all abilities can take part in the program.

Percussion students must have played set in school or had set lessons for one year to play in the jazz bands. Percussion students who do not have one year experience may attend to learn about set and play ancillary percussion.
