Jam League is our intensive music program for students who are interested in pursuing music at a high level. The year will be spent diving into various styles; Indie, Jazz, Rock, Funk, some examples of international music, and finally, contemporary. The class is open to students who have previous experience on an instrument. All instruments are welcome. The class will spend much of the time playing together as a group, learning crucial skills that are not developed during individual practice. There will also be a composition and arranging element, as well as regular improvisation workshops.
*This class does not teach skills specific to any one instrument, (although our experienced faculty will be able to provide tips for most instrumental issues) and students will get the most out of Jam League if they also take private lessons on their instrument.
This is a list of skills that Jam League students should know at the beginning of the year:
