Jazz Junction

My students need to hear quality sound from our recordings for instructional purposes---Not only can they hear performances, but the chance to hear their very own practice sessions optimizes their success!

My Students

"Don't play what's there; play what's not there." ----- Miles Davis---- My students start to understand jazz as soon as they walk into the band room. At every level of musical adventure and learning, from 9th to 12th grade, they are ready to learn and experience the world of music at a level of connection only provided to committed, dedicated, inspired young musicians. They just need the sound and the vibe.

Our high school is located in a Title I county which means we have a high populations of low income students who need your support and help.

My Project

With a quality speaker used for jazz & symphonic play-back, my students will not only have my verbal feed-back provided during instruction, they will gain the ability to hear the sounds they produce and therefore fine tune them. The speaker we use now is not producing the level of sound needed to hear nuisances, to differentiate tones and pitches. Analysis & mastery of methods is helped by listening: whether listening to Miles Davis or to a recording of a 9th grade audition for first chair saxophone- both need a good quality speaker!

Like athletes benefit from seeing themselves play, musicians benefit from HEARING themselves play.

My students need to HEAR the sounds they produce! Imagine a coach on a football field that can tape practice, move into the classroom, and instruct his players as they watch a video monitor. A quality speaker is like that. It will give every band member that chance the hear the music.
