Registration for Fall term (Sep-Dec 2023) is now open!
This is an in-person music program, held at the VSO School
- Saturdays, 9-10am with Ingrid Stitt
- Mondays, 4:30-5:30pm with Tristan Paxton
These welcoming “training” combos give students with 2 years experience playing any instrument a way into the art of jazz and improv. Led by professional jazz artists who are also compassionate educators, participants will learn to work together, be creative, and think about music in a new way, as they explore the foundations of jazz playing together, and find out that there are no wrong notes!
Participants should be confident in reading music notation, and will need to bring their instrument to rehearsals. There are no auditions necessary! To join a junior combo, simply click the red button to email Jazz Programs Administrator Harmeet Virdee with your name, instrument and a couple of sentences about your playing level, and any previous ensemble / music group experience. You will then be contacted to confirm your best combo class fit.
