Lakeland Jazz Orchestra

Catalog description

This course provides students with the experience of participating in a community-service jazz ensemble performance group sponsored by Lakeland. Students will prepare and present concerts of jazz repertoire with substantial emphasis on improvisation. At least two years of high school-level jazz performance, with experience in improvisation, are recommended prior to joining the jazz orchestra, and placement in the ensemble will be determined by audition during or before the first rehearsal as determined by the director. Students may take this course up to four times for credit.
