More than a music class. Get Jazzed! is a swing jazz program of small-ensembles. This is a non-audition music program for adult learners who can play an instrument but might feel a little unsure about jazz, improvisation, or playing with a group; no jazz experience is necessary. You will become more confident playing with others and you will gain an understanding of how to play a variety of jazz standards. Improvising will be introduced and supported in an approachable way. Get Jazzed! is a compassionate and friendly music group. Find your music community with us. IS GET JAZZED!
