Middle School Course Description

Extension Course | Yearlong | Open to all Middle School students by audition

This ensemble is for brass, woodwind, and percussion musicians with at least one year of private study on their instruments. Although the ensemble will study and perform a variety of styles and genres, jazz music will be at the core of the curriculum. A limited number of rhythm-section instruments (piano, bass, drums, and guitar) will be admitted after being selected through an audition process. Auditions will occur during the first weeks of school. All interested musicians will be placed in Middle School Band or Beginning Band. This is a yearlong commitment.
