What We Do We offer beginning to advanced jazz ensembles for students of all ages. Our primary focus is the young musician in grades five through twelve. Each group is formed to meet the emotional and musical needs of the youngster. Experience, ability and maturity outweigh the age factor in ensemble placement. It is unlikely, however, that a fifth grader will be placed in a group with high school students. Contact with parents is paramount.

How We Do It Our ensembles meet weekly for one hour during which our experienced instructors mold their groups in preparation for their performances at Ryles Jazz Club at the end of each trimester. Our instructors are experts at all phases of jazz so we can add specialized expertise where needed. The versatility of our teaching staff, along with the team teaching concept, keeps the music fresh, fun and exciting for the groups and the teachers.

When We Meet
Ensembles meet for one hour on Sundays from 5-8 PM. As our program grows, other days and times will become available.
