The Heritage School of Music, the principal education program of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation, holds auditions for students ages 11 to 17 from the Greater New Orleans region Saturday, Jan. 12, at Dillard University. Free jazz classes are provided to beginner, intermediate and advanced students performing brass, woodwinds, drums, piano, bass, guitar and voice.
The Don "Moose" Jamison Heritage School of Music was founded in 1990 by Edward "Kidd" Jordan, and its matriculates include Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews, Sammie "Big Sam" Williams and Shamarr Allen. Among its faculty are Edward "Kidd" Jordan, Michael Pellera, Peter Harris, Don Vappie, Leon Brown, Leah Chase, Ricky Sebastian and Geoff Clapp.
In addition to receiving free instruction, students at the school also have the opportunity to publicly perform at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival presented by Shell, the French Quarter Festival, the Crescent City Blues & BBQ Festival and other events.
Classes are held in 3-hour blocks on Saturday mornings beginning at 10 a.m. Students are expected to have their own instruments and bring those instruments to the audition and to class each week (except piano and drums).
The school provides the following enrollment and audition guidelines:
ENROLLMENT GUIDELINES
The Heritage School accepts beginning to advanced students.
Beginners should have completed at least one year of prior instruction on their instruments. They should be able to play a major and minor scale, identify notes on a staff and play at least one song. Students should own their own instruments and should bring them to the auditions.
More advanced students should be prepared to:
- Perform a song (preferably a jazz standard) that demonstrates their full range of ability
- Demonstrate an ability to improvise over a blues form in the keys of F and B flat
- Play a chromatic scale (two octaves)
- Sight-read an unfamiliar jazz composition
For pianists and bassists, demonstrate a fundamental ability to read chord changes
Drummers should have at least some experience with:
- Single stroke and double stroke rolls
- Playing very basic jazz beat and rock/funk beat
- Playing a C Major scale on the piano
Vocalists should be able to sing an unfamiliar melodic phrase after hearing it once or twice. Experience with reading music is a plus.
Interested parents and teens can find out more information and fill out an enrollment form on the school's website. Regular classes resume on Jan. 19.
