NY Ensemble Classes If you have never taken ensemble classes you are missing out. Our jazz workshops are open to all instruments, join today! Sincerely,
Your Ensemble Instructors

Are you seeking jazz lessons that stretch beyond the boundaries of your instrument? Do you need to work on your improv skills? Would you like to discover what professional groups do to make their sound cohesive and captivating? If you answered yes to any of these questions, New York Ensemble Classes might be the place for you! NY Ensemble Classes organizes jazz ensembles coached by two instructors. While an ensemble builds a repertoire, students have the opportunity to explore, learn, practice and improve fundamentals of live jazz performance such as song form; comping; improvising; listening; interplay; soloing; arranging and shaping a performance by controlling dynamics, density and much more. All instruments welcome (including saxophone, trumpet, trombone, guitar, piano, bass, drums, percussion, vibraphone, flute, clarinet, oboe, horn, tuba, and strings)

Part two of the new post on brushes is out!

Combining long and short strokes with lateral motions opens a door to engaging musical ideas. This post describes this technique for jazz brushes.

Recently we were asked the same question multiple times so we will write the answer here for everyone to see.

At NY Ensemble Classes the groups are set up like in real life. They are in fact real groups that meet weekly under the guidance of multiple instructors who most of the time play with the students.

If you are a drummer you will be the only drummer, the same goes for pianists and bassists, and we limit the number of harmonic instruments per ensemble to a functional minimum.

We believe that hands-on is the best way to learn, and we are opposed to the idea that gathering as many students as possible in a room is how you teach a jazz performance course.

Happy playing, everybody!

Musically,
The team at NY Ensemble Classes

As an accompanist, the more chord voicings you know, the better. While this is true, you can still get a lot of mileage out of the voicings you already know
