Tools of musicianship

​

Throughout this series, we'll explore the three universal elements of all music: melody, harmony, and rhythm. 

 

Our goal is to develop an understanding of how to create and notate a piece of clear vocal music in the jazz idiom;

to find your individual expression by tapping into your creativity, your intellect, and your ears; to enhance your musical vocabulary with an emphasis on interpretation and performance; and, to improve your level of confidence by building a foundation of knowledge and practice.  

 

In a non-competitive, yet rigorous environment, we will enhance your musical knowledge and creative skills in order to work in a professional capacity in various forms - either as a soloist, a member of an established ensemble or in freely formed groups.

​
