Jazz Instrumental Lab

In this weekly small-group ensemble, jazz musicians at an intermediate level have the opportunity to collaborate, improvise, rehearse and develop the confidence for public performance. Working with a professional jazz musician coach, students work on classic jazz repertoire, blues forms and standards from the great American songbook and dig deep into the world of jazz improvisation. BKCM offers tuition-free enrollment for this class to all students currently taking private lessons. For further details on this program, please speak to a registrar.
