Jazz Prep - Ages: 12-18
Tri-C's Jazz Prep gives students the opportunity to develop their skills and perform in both large and small ensembles, through rehearsals that focus on music history, theory, and improvisation. Students participate in workshops lead by national artists, throughout the year and during Tri-C JazzFest. The semester will end with a public performance, and selected ensembles will perform at venues around town.

Saturdays, 12:30 - 3:30pm, January 20th - May 12th, 2018.

Spring Concert: Saturday, May 12th at 1:00PM in the Metro Campus Mainstage Theatre. This concert is free to the community.

The Orchestra Program (TOP) - Ages: 6-18

TOP includes String Orchestra and Wind Ensemble classes presented in a dynamic, intense and fun way that will incorporate instruction in all of the elements necessary to deeply learn how to play in an ensemble setting, from string orchestra and wind ensemble all the way to a symphonic orchestra.

By focusing on a mastery-based approach to music education, while inspiring a high standard of excellence, students will develop lifelong musical, social, and leadership skills which position them for success in their everyday lives.

All programs serve musicians of all abilities, from beginning to advanced, ages 6-18, and consist of coordinated classes in Orchestra Rehearsal and Sectionals or Group Instrumental Lessons. Programs at Metro also include Music Theory and do not require music reading skills. Programs at West include String Orchestras and Wind Ensemble classes and require basic music reading skills.

Regardless of location, students are evaluated and placed in levels appropriate to their experience.
