Hope Academy offers a Clarinet and Saxophone Ensemble under the direction of Ben Barson on Thursdays from 5:30 to 6:45 pm.
Find your groove and hone your chops in this collaborative ensemble that allows young wind players to perform exciting material from jazz, classical and even funk music traditions. Students will learn how to blend harmonies, hold bass lines, take lead solos and improvise in the blues-jazz language. Learning how to develop trust and have fun with each other is a class goal as important as developing musical skills. Ben Barson’s private lesson students are invited to join the ensemble for free; all other students in the ensemble will have a $40 tuition fee per term.
