Jazz is America’s musical contribution to the world! At Enloe the Jazz Ambassadors offer students the opportunity to study jazz during the school day. Their study is focused on the elements that make jazz special: communication and improvisation. While reading music is absolutely essential to their endeavors, the primary focus is on eye-to-eye and ear-to-ear communication within a small group, or combo. Students enrolled in the “Jazz Ensemble” course are divided into small combos, which rehearse independently. Students learn many jazz tunes, but more importantly, they learn to communicate non-verbally in meaningful and musical ways within their combo. In order to excel at improvisation students must learn basic music theory. Students learn to read chord symbols (Dmi 7, G7, Cmaj7) and learn how to improvise melodies based on these symbols. This requires intense individual study. Once a certain level of study has been accomplished students are able to tryout their discoveries within their combo. When each member of the group is prepared they are able to experience synergetic rehearsals. This is what keeps them interested in jazz!
