Not Just Jazz
About the Course
Students will need to bring their preferred instruments. Pianos, drum kits and amps are provided.
Keep playing all summer with the Not Just Jazz Ensemble. Designed for students passionate about all genres of music where they will take their musical and technical skill to the next level in this elective led by our Cornish faculty.
During this 8-session course, you'll explore various styles and develop skills in improvisation, arranging, and ensemble performance. Through rehearsals, students will refine their technique and musicianship to be ready to join bands of all genres and write original music. In this "everything and anything" style ensemble, the students will choose what they play together and work on putting together their final pieces to perform during the final presentation day.
While this intensive may be taken independently, it is an elective that is designed to work in conjunction with our Music Intensive 4-week program. Please see that description here or email plus@cornish.edu if you have any questions.
