Talented
musicians, (13 and up) high school, college age and older will have the opportunity
to learn from the masters. The students
will be immersed in all aspects of performance. This program emphasizes the mastery of playing and singing
skills in jazz and world music. Our
goal is to improve the students’ musicianship, inspire and help facilitate
creativity, enable students to communicate with the band, play in different
styles, and learn repertoire, harmony, improvisation and rhythm. Students who attend the workshop will
improve in their chosen style of music with a greater appreciation for all
types of music, whether it be it is jazz, rock and roll, pop, funk, fusion, or
R&B and hip hop. Students will
receive individual attention to help improve their skills. This workshop is one the students will
remember for years to come.
Vocalists: will also have the opportunity to sing with a rhythm section,
improve their voice, be part of a accapella choir, learn repertoire, singing in
different styles including swing, blues, ballads, samba and waltz. They will
also study sight singing/theory, percussion and sing on the OSPAC stage.
Admission requires no audition, just a strong commitment to
learning improvisational jazz. At a minimum, however, beginners must have
basic music knowledge. A Placement audition – In order to teach on different levels, we need placement
auditions either in person or by tape.
This enables all students to be in their appropriate level class. Class assignments are done prior to the
first day. Theory Test – Please fill out the theory test and send it
back. Do not worry if you do not know the answers. You can leave it blank.
This is only for theory and performance class. There are 4 different levels.
We
understand that one class you might be in a higher level and another class (combo)
you might be in a different level. This
week long workshop will feature world-renowned jazz artists and clinicians. Talented musicians, high
school, college age and older will have the opportunity to learn from the
masters. The students will be immersed
