I hope you all had a fun and safe summer. We're getting close to the school year now, and I know there is some confusion about the etudes for the jazz audition, but don't worry! Here's what you should do. If you were handed a a paper copy of the etude or it's here on the blog, great! You'll play that along with your scales and sight reading for the audition. If your etude is not here and you didn't receive a paper copy, it's OK! Don't worry at all. Since the audition is just for placement in one of the bands, I just need to see how well you can play. You will just play your scales and sight reading for the audition, and won't be marked down or penalized for not having the etude.
I am looking forward to seeing all of you this year, and I'm really excited to start making music!
Mr. Pollack
