Now accepting members for 2021-22!
Join a jazz combo (small groups of around 3-6 students) under the guidance of the acclaimed VSO School Jazz faculty. In addition to our Youth Honour Jazz and Junior Jazz combos which require participants to audition, our regular Jazz Combo program is available to students of all ages and abilities. On the sign up form, please submit a short video that represents your playing, and we will do our best to group you with players of a common age and skill level. Combos are given free practice time in addition to coaching sessions.
If you are interested in joining a jazz combo at the VSO School of Music, we encourage you to click the Sign Up button and fill out the online form. The deadline to sign up for Jazz Combos is July 30 at 11:59 PM. Most regular combos rehearse on Wednesdays and Thursdays between 5pm-9pm.
If you have participated in jazz combos this past year, and would like to continue with the same musicians and coach, please discuss this with your ensemble and email the Programs Coordinator (markm@vsoschoolofmusic.ca). We will be happy to arrange coachings for you and your ensemble.
If you are interested in auditioning for the honour youth jazz combo, please carefully read the audition guidelines and include the video audition link on the last section of the Sign Up form.
