​​Our Jazz combos are fun, great social times, and are good learning experiences.
​
These combos are for mature students and adult musicians – musical concepts will be addressed to help each musician in the group move forward in their playing and improvisation.
​
Open to all instrumentalists who are at least an advanced beginner. Basic instrument skills in reading and improvisation and standard jazz repertoire a prerequisite. There will be guitar and bass amps, piano, drums, and music stands to use.
​
Classes take place on Friday morning and afternoon.
Jazz combos are under the direction of jazz guitarist and music educator Garry Elliott.
These 1 hour classes have some instructional components as students play through jazz standards. ​Students gain an understanding of the changes, chord/scale relationship for improvising, following the song form and getting to know lots of great tunes.
​
