I'm going to adjust the RF Jazz Workshop's schedule a little bit. I'd like to continue the 1st and 3rd Mondays at the new Roaring Fork High School band room, as usual, but change the format a bit.
First of all, I'd like to make clear that, at this point, the Workshop is just that. It's not a rehearsal for a band. It's more like a group lesson in jazz improvisation. If you all get inspired to make some connections, and start a group, that's awesome! I hope that the Workshop will help equip you with some foundational skills to make your group sensational.
OK. Now for the schedule. I'd like to have the High School students and adult beginner/intermediates meet from 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM. Then from 8:00 PM - 9:30 PM, have a group practice session, which I'll lead. I'm going to treat it as I would my own practice sessions, focusing on a creative approach toward working on scales, tunes, and improv. If you'd like to sit in, you're welcome. It'll be geared toward advanced stuff, so watch out!
See you on April 7th!
