Jazz Ensemble
MUS 0036
Tuesday/Thursday, 5:00-6:30 PM
The UTC Jazz Ensembles provide students with the opportunity to develop skills associated with performance in the jazz idiom while performing a wide variety of contemporary and traditional jazz styles. The Jazz Ensembles are open to all UTC students, music and non-majors alike, and placement auditions are held during the 1st week of classes every semester. Audition material will be posted on the UTC Music Ensembles webpage. Basic concepts that lead to creativity and self-expression in jazz are learned by participating in Jazz Ensembles, and the improvisatory elements in jazz performances offer an important and unique opportunity for all students to develop their creative process. Typically, the ensembles rehearse on Tuesdays & Thursdays 5:00-6:30pm in the UTC Bandroom (FAC 104). The ensembles perform at campus and community events throughout the school year.
