- Jazz Repertoire Class - all levels all instrumentsSchool of Musical Traditions, Takoma Park, MD$30.00
Each month Noah Gitlis teaches a different Jazz Standard with emphasis on melody, harmony, accompaniment, and rhythm. The goal of the class is to help students boost their jazz repertoire, and build the skills required to feel confident in a jazz jam session. These classes are a lot of fun and a great way to get out and play with other people while learning some really fun music. All instruments and skill levels are welcome but students should have basic proficiency on their instrument to get the most out of the class.

- blue bossa
- autumn leaves
- Footprints
