Starting September 3rd, 2024

What: The Charleston Jazz Academy Homeschool Band provides an opportunity for students to explore instrumental music through playing band instruments. These include flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, euphonium, tuba and percussion instruments (snare drum, mallet instrument, etc.)

There are two levels of Homeschool band. The beginner level is for students with no prior experience on a band instrument. They will be introduced to the instruments and matched with the instrument that best matches their physical and aural skills. They will then learn notation, rhythm and pitch, correct posture and horn positioning paper breathing techniques, and perform much that develops these skills. The intermediate level is for those students with some previous experience in band. In addition to continuing what they learned in beginning band, they will add to their repertoire of music to perform with their fellow students. 

Who: Students 4th-12th grade. 

When: The Homeschool Band will meet for 14 weeks each semester. Class will be on Tuesdays from 11:00am-12:30pm.

Where: Charleston Jazz Academy, 3005 West Montague Avenue, Suite 200, North Charleston, SC 29418 

Tuition: The total cost is $300 per semester. This can also be broken down into monthly payments of $75 a month. Fees cover music and other learning materials.
