The RJO Saturday Jazz Workshop is taught by Dylan Coleman and guest instructors. Rehearsals and concerts will be held at Good Luck Macbeth Theater 124 W. Taylor St. Reno.**
We offer two groups, a 9-11am session geared toward “beginner” jazz students (usually middle school). The 11:30am-1:30pm session is geared toward more "advanced" jazz students (usually high school). Note: sessions will be combined if there are not enough students for both.
In this 9-week program, students work on rhythmic exercises, ear training, jazz tunes, listening, improvisation, and chords and scales.
The culminating project will be 2 concerts in which the Jazz Workshop students are the opening group for an RJO Concert.
Important: if your child is experiencing cold symptoms or awaiting Covid test results, they should not attend rehearsal in person. Zoom availability can be made upon request.
We are very proud of what the students were able to accomplish over the past couple of years. Head to our website to hear some of their recent recordings.
