9th Annual Blaine Jazz Festival July 11-17, 2010
Six exciting days of rehearsals, combos, improv, composition, and other great classes for teens with an internationally recognized faculty culminating in a jazz concert featuring student big bands, combos and vocal groups PLUS multiple performances by visiting jazz artists.
We offer comprehensive programs in instrumental and vocal jazz and a program in Classics Plus. Instrumentalists will be placed in performance groups and classes based on their skill levels. The jazz bands will be playing big band arrangements that will most likely range from swing to Latin, blues, jazz-rock and other big band forms.
In addition to jazz bands, the morning offers classes for beginners who cannot read music and a course called "Let's Rock" in which rhythm section players work with our rhythm section faculty to develop excellent performance skills and will rehearse and perform rock/jazz pieces in our final concert.

Classics Plus !
Apply your classical training to jazz, rock & funk! Students who are classically oriented may elect our new Classics Plus program (strings including electric bass, woodwinds and brass, keyboard, acoustic, electric guitar, and percussion).
Jazz Band II with Ed Donohue.
The entire afternoon is devoted to instruction in improv and application in performance thru combos and jazz labs. The combos range from 5-7 players, the jazz labs slightly larger. It is possible to mix programs in instrumental, vocal jazz, and Classics Plus.
Private lessons are also available at $25.00/half hour and students are pulled from Improv classes or study with a private teacher from 4:00-5:30pm.
