School Concerts
There is nothing more fun or more important for the QCJB than playing for kids.
Our presentation stresses that jazz was first created in the USA born of the black, white and hispanic cultures in New Orleans. We begin with the roots of jazz and blues and conclude with how that early music influenced the music of our current popular music. The students learn about how our instruments work. Students will learn through music how cooperation between the members of any group can produce a satisfying and excellent result.
