This workshop is open to teachers from both AMIS member schools and non-member schools.
The Jazz Skills workshop will include a full spectrum explanation of Jazz theory with emphasis on intermediate to advanced levels of understanding. Materials for cultivating theoretical and practical understanding will be provided that both students and instructors will find useful for personal or classroom use. Practical emphasis will be geared toward individual improvisation skills. Useful strategies for developing the rhythm section in both combo and big band settings will be demonstrated and opportunities to observe both big band and combo rehearsals will be included.

Applications should be made as soon as possible. Final deadline is September 15th.
This workshop is geared for but not limited to IB Music students and their teachers. Based on feedback from participating teachers in last year’s workshop, it was felt that having this workshop in November would still provide ample opportunity for Year 2 students to get feedback and critique on their work early enough in the year. This would also provide a wonderful springboard opportunity for Year 1 students to get a head start on their work.
Some of the features of the workshop will again include:
Additions to this year’s workshop will include:
This workshop is intended to focus on works in progress for critical feedback rather than the presentations of finished products. Students will be expected to bring to the workshop work they have done to date . This is includes the performance, Music Investigations and composition projects.
Preliminary registration can be made at any time.
Registration Deadline is September 15th.
Full payment of fees is due on October 1st.
