Shedd Jazz Academy:


The Jazz Academy
at the
John G. Shedd Institute for the Arts
2008/2009 School Year
Directed by Glenn Griffith

                    The Jazz Academy will again focus on small group combos, learning standards, and the
                    basics of jazz improvisation through weekly workshop classes. We find this to be a good
                    complement to the school band programs. We will start all students in basic music theory
                    progressing to jazz theory. Students will work on scales and scale patterns to help with
                    jazz improvising. We will also work on basic piano skills progressing into basic jazz
                    piano. Weekly workshop classes will be based on age, grade, and musical experience. We
                    are planning on two workshops a week. Tuesdays will be for grades 7, 8 and 9 and
                   Thursdays will be for grades 10, 11, and 12. During each evening Workshop class we
                    will cover music theory, performance skills, and most importantly, play music. This year
                    Glenn will be assisted by many talented guest jazz performers from the community. Past
                    teachers have included the talents of Jesse Cloninger, Josh Deutsch, Shawn Flannery, Ted
                    Godbout, Dana Heitman, Josh Britton, Roger Woods, Hashem Assadullahi, and others.

Weekly Schedule:

Tuesdays – 6:30 – 8:00 Level one students, grades 7, 8, and 9
       Thursdays – 6:30 – 8:00 Level two students, grades 10, 11, and 12

We will follow the calendars of the University of Oregon and LCC for the 11-week
semesters.

Semester 1 – Sept 29th – Dec 12th
Semester 2 – Jan 5th – Mar 20th
Semester 3 – Mar 30th – June 12th

I will post the Jazz Academy weekly schedule on my website. Just click on the Jazz
Academy link. http://www.griffithmusic.net

The cost for each 11-week semester is only $130. That is under $12 a week, less than $8
an hour. Finical aid is available for students on a needs basis.

If you have an interest in attending the Jazz Academy this semester please call
Jenna Howell at the Shedd at 687-6526 and let us know. Jenna can also answer any
questions you might have about finical aid or the academy.

I look forward to another great year at the Academy.

Glenn
