And All That Jazz...

Dear Parents,

The Jazz Workshop that took place on Saturday was a huge success.  25 students interacted with professional musicians sponsored by the Mile High Jazz Band, spending the day making great music.  Jazz Band students have put together 3 new songs in just 3 weeks!  I can't wait to show off the fruits of your student's hard work on Tuesday night!  In the meantime, all classes are making excellent progress on their music that will be performed later this semester.

Practice logs have returned, with the same Friday due dates. Kids will get a copy every week, and I have an electronic version available on the website.

Here is the next month of events:

• Jazz Band* - January 26: Jazz Extravaganza at the Community Center, 7:00 PM
