Showcasing the finest female jazz artists in the region for almost 25 years.

Girls Jazz Band

Please note: the Girls Jazz Band project will be rescheduled to a later date.

Jazz-loving middle-school girls! Sign up for the 2020 Girls Jazz Band Program sponsored by the Seattle Women’s Jazz Orchestra!

Now in its fourth year, this eight-week after-school course offers a comfortable and supportive environment for developing skills in jazz interpretation and improvisation and is a great way to practice soloing and to prepare for joining a high school jazz band. Members of Seattle Women’s Jazz Orchestra will provide mentoring.

All instruments welcome. Workshop participants will perform in a special concert with SWOJO in The Carlson Theater at Bellevue College on March 25, 2020 (this concert has been cancelled, to be rescheduled at a later date).

Workshop sessions will be held from 6:30-8:00 on Wednesday evenings at Bellevue Christian School. The workshop dates are: January 29; February 12, 19 and 26; March 4, 11 and 18.

Cost is $75, with scholarships available.

Open for all girls in middle school as well as high school girls who do not have experience in improvising.

To register, please download the registration and information packet.
