| | Jazz Combo 7,8 completes the musical education of the advanced student by connecting their performance skills within a jazz combo setting (5-12 musicians) 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 develop an expanded knowledge of scales and cadences, create multi-part compositions, and evaluate musical performances at an advanced level. Students will compare jazz styles and influences from North and South America. |
