HOW WE DO IT!
The students all study classic bebop songs by Charlie Parker and Sonny Rollins.
Students refined their two octave scales and learn the bebop language of improvisation.
Students expand their knowledge of jazz history and pioneering musicians.
Combo A musicians work as mentors to the Beginning Band students.
We are so proud of their individual and collective effort. We celebrate their achievements and are excited for the next step.
Come See!
The band will debut this Monday11/13/23 from 6:30-7:30pm @ Gather Restraunt in Berkeley
Come celebrate and support our musicians!
