This ensemble focuses on performing four lead sheets per term, typically one chart from each of the following categories: Blues, Swing, Ballad, and Latin. Some participants may choose tunes from additional categories, including fusion, gypsy, R&B, and others. It is suggested that students also take Jazz Theory as a companion class. This class is meant for intermediate and advanced players.

New student enrollment is subject to instructor approval; contact David Shere to inquire.
Required skill rudiments are as follows:

• Must be able to reasonably sight-read a lead sheet
• Must be able to play major scales in all (12) keys
• Must be able to play the chromatic scale

Combo members can join the recommended Jazz Theory class for a discounted rate of just $99! Music theory questions and improvising strategies are discussed in theory and applied in Combo performance.
