Training
•The Jazz Music minor focuses a student's musical study on jazz language and performance rather than the general classical core alone.
•Applied work and musicianship can be connected to improvisation, commercial styles and the repertory traditions of large and small jazz groups.
Performance & Productions
•Lee's Jazz Ensemble performs traditional and recent big-band literature, while the Small Jazz Ensemble offers a more compact collaborative setting.
•Faculty specialties include commercial music, improvisation and applied saxophone, and the school's weekly performance culture, recording resources and practice spaces give jazz students several ways to refine and document their work.
