The Jazz Band is open to intermediate to advanced Saxophones, Trumpets/Cornets, Trombone players and Kit Drummers.
The ensemble will develop instrumental skills and encourage general musicianship skills through-out the year, as well as develop a good social network of like-minded musicians. Musicians will have the opportunity play a variety of music from ''Cool Dude' learning about the Blues scale, traditional Jazz such as 'All of Me', to Big Band features such as 'American Patrol' through to more contemporary music such as 'Moondance' or 'Blues Brothers'. The Jazz Band will participate in events such as school concerts, celebrations, ‘Go West’ Festival, and wider community events. The ensemble will be ideally suited to musicians interested in Jazz, Big Band, Dance Band and Pop music.
Pupil Music Leaders will be supporting music teachers running this ensemble.
