MUSIC THEORY CLASS
We offer three levels of theory classes, which are designed to help students improve their ability to read and interpret musical symbols, play rhythmic patterns, sight sing, read and hear and remember melodies and chords. Beginning students progress from Theory I to Theory III. Our experienced students are tested and placed into the appropriate level class. Each student is tested before they advance to the next class to ensure class material is understood. The Music Theory Class is included for students who are enrolled in the full program.
Jazz Improvisation
This is a lab for students who have reached at least intermediate level in their instrument and have mastered the Theory II class. This lab teaches jazz theory and techniques. It introduces students to the art of improvisation, and gives the students the tools needed to create melodies at a simple harmonic level. Students will participate in a small jazz ensemble. Other prerequisites and corequisites apply.
