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
