Are you a musician? Would you like to take your musical improvisation skills to the next level or return to your high school's band program with a newly found set of skills as well as more swagger and attitude? Then this is the course for you. Students joining us this summer will have the opportunity to:
Learn the nuts and bolts of how to play a jazz solo
Be the star soloist that you always dreamed of being
Gain experience and confidence playing with others
After completing this course students will:
Be able to take command of their improvised solos
Fully equip themselves for a successful college jazz audition
Further expand their instrumental technical facility
Expand their knowledge of theory, harmony, and history all while building monster “chops.”
Exploring jazz at the UConn Pre-College Summer program will closely replicate life as a UConn jazz student. Your day will be divided into segments of instrumental instruction, ensemble playing, and classes in jazz improvisation, theory and jazz history. The whole experience will culminate in a final performance showcasing all you have learned.
