Guitar Ensemble

Guitar Ensemble

With KENNY WESSEL
The Guitar Ensemble is a class that meets every two weeks for two hours. Kenny Wessel will work with 4-5 guitarists playing arrangements for guitar. The focus will be on building important musical skills such as: playing as a section, blending, phrasing, time feel, soloing, comping, improvisation, in addition to working on a weak point for many guitarists, sight-reading. Charts include arrangements of jazz standards and other repertoire. The guitar Ensemble Is a great opportunity to experience playing in a section (like a horn section, but stringy). Get ready for a fantastic experience. The Guitar Ensemble will have opportunities to  performing live.
