Jazz Band Audition Music 2011-2012

Hello students and parents,

If you are reading this, it means you are interested in playing in one of our jazz ensembles. That’s great! Audition materialscan be found here for every instrument. Wind/piano players will have to play scales, an etude, and sight read a piece. Drum set students will have to play an etude, play in a few styles, and sight read. The auditions will be held once the school year starts up in September, and students will be placed in one of our two bands. The advanced jazz band is the audition-based group and will hold a certain amount of spots. Those who audition but don’t make it into the advanced band will be placed into the jazz band. All students who audition will get a chance to play in one of the bands.

I am looking forward to working with all of you this school year. I know we’ll make great music together and learn a lot from one another.

Sincerely,
Mr. Pollack
