| | Jazz Ensemble 7,8; Exhibition completes the musical education of the advanced student by connecting their performance skills with their ability to investigate and solve musical challenges, using research where necessary. Students will demonstrate independent performing alone and in small groups, making appropriate personal choices of tone, interpretation, and musicality. They will study diverse repertoire, with foci on multi-movement works, 20th century notation, and the music of the Americas. They will develop an expanded knowledge of scales and cadences, create multi-part compositions, and evaluate musical performances at an advanced level. In addition to ensemble performance students will collaborate to produce an exhibition of their best solo, chamber and portfolio work (combo) work. |
