| | Jazz Ensemble 9,10 is the fifth course in the jazz
ensemble course sequence, an extension of the
sequence for schools on a 4x4 schedule (in which
students complete a year-long course in one semester).
In Jazz Ensemble 9,10, students will continue to develop
their technique and musicianship on their instruments.
They will analyze texture, modulations, cadences, and
form, and will arrange and harmonize melodies using
standard notation. In a unit on music careers, students
will select and research a music career that interests
them. New connections will be made between each
student and the ensemble through basic conducting,
improvisation in the ensemble setting, music selection,
rehearsal, performance, and performance critique. |
