HT Instrumental Jazz Student Activities
|
|
|
Jazz ensembles have a long and successful history at Huston-Tillotson University. Both music majors and non-majors at the University are strongly encouraged to participate in the performing groups, as well as classes and applied lessons offered in the music curriculum.
Jazz Combos provide an opportunity for students to enhance their improvisational skills in a small group setting. Combos range in size from four to ten members. Previous jazz experience is required to join a jazz combo.
The Jazz Combo program is essential in the music curriculum because of the concentration on the art of jazz improvisation. All instrumentalists and vocalists are invited to enroll in the groups. A dmission is by audition only. Auditions are held during the first three days of classes each semester.
