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 Jazz Program

Through our newly expanded menu of jazz opportunities, pre-teens, teens and adults explore the world of jazz and improvisation, learning repertoire that includes classic jazz standards, contemporary works, original compositions and music from around the world. Students work closely with professional jazz faculty and perform at private concerts, public recitals and community events. With an average student-teacher ratio of five to one, students receive personalized attention in an intimate group setting. Students enrolled in our private lessons may be eligible for reduced tuition enrollment; contact our registration desk for more information. Need-based scholarships are available. For more information contact our jazz program coordinator, Lesley Mok, at lesley.mok@bkcm.org.
