SWING

This isn’t a class. It’s a community!

Love swing jazz? Want to connect by making music with real people — not just practicing alone?

If you:

• Want to learn about jazz music (even as a beginner to jazz)
• Miss the magic of playing music with real people
• Believe in community over competition

Then this is your chance to Get Jazzed!

How it Works:

• You will learn and play together in a small ensemble (3 to 6 musicians) for the duration of the 5-week series
• The purpose is to create inclusive and joyful small ensembles
• This activity will be accessible to musicians with a basic skill set on their instruments
• You will gain confidence, knowledge, and skills in bandleading and playing swing jazz standards
• In weeks 2, 3, and 4 we have invited some of your favourite professional jazz musicians to be guest clinician in your ensemble (a different clinician each week)
• There will be an informal showcase on the last day of the series
