This ensemble focuses on performing four lead sheets per term, typically one chart from each of the following categories: Blues, Swing, Ballad, and Latin. Some participants may choose tunes from additional categories, including fusion, R&B, and others. It is suggested that students also take Jazz Theory as a companion class.
