WHY STUDY JAZZ?
If your dream is to become the best musician you can possibly be, studying jazz is the way to get you there! Through studying in a jazz-based curriculum, you develop such a thorough understanding of theory and harmony that translates to all genres of music. You develop the technique to become a master of your instrument. You learn how to improvise and create melodies spontaneously. You learn how and why chord progressions and melodies work, which helps you write richer, fuller and more sophisticated music. After studying jazz for 3 years, you have all the tools you need to explore a lifetime of performing and composing music!
