KICKSTARTING YOUR JAZZ BAND: How To Get Your Band Swingin’ And Playin’ The Blues

Mrs. Mathews will discuss her strategy for starting the year with a middle school or young high school jazz band. The clinic provides best practices for teaching students how to swing while also incorporating the blues progression.  Engaging students in a thoughtful pace will motivate your students to improvise and be comfortable soloing in front of others.
