IKM-MANNING

JUNIOR HIGH JAZZ BAND

 

 

The Junior High Jazz Band is a new class being developed at the IKM- Manning

Community School Instrumental Department. This year, during the second

semester, a jazz band will practice every other Thursday afternoon at 2:45 p.m.

 

Initially, the Junior High Jazz Band work out of the Standards of Excellence

Jazz Methods book. They then progress to the point where they are learning

actual medium-easy jazz charts.

 

Also offered during the summer months is a jazz improv class that meets every

Monday evening at 6:30 p.m. in the band room. This jazz improv class is open to

anyone who wishes to experience or experiment with the art of improvization.
