One of the Jazz Workshop's unique features is its teaching staff.
All are professional musicians who give the necessary resolve to
each student. Alto Saxophonist Hosea Gonzales toured professionally
for many years. Kenny Fisher has instructed with the Jazz
Workshop for twenty years. Students have an opportunity to
watch them and other teachers perform during jam sessions at the
library, following Saturday classes, and during monthly Jazz Workshop
events.
Music instruction
is on a one to one basis. All students are required to participate
in theory classes. There is a fee of $65.00 per program year.
Scholarships are also available. Classes are scheduled on
a first come first served basis and there is a sign in sheet.
In most cases, students have their own instruments. If not,
the Jazz Workshop will assist in securing one. The Jazz Workshop,
Inc. also accepts donations of used musical instruments and donors
can receive a tax-deduction.
Classes occur
every Saturday, from 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. at the Carnegie Library
- Homewood.
