At Chippewa Falls High School we are fortunate to offer two curricular jazz ensembles that meet during the school day, and one enrichment jazz ensemble that meets during Prime Time.
The focus of our program is on comprehensive musicianship – the development of musical perception, aesthetic sensitivity, and technical mastery. Parents, families, friends and the community are given the opportunity to see this on display through our performances at concerts and various community events. There are other social enrichment by-products and the development of priceless life skills learned by all our band members, but these are in addition to the foundation of our band's number one priority - music education.

The Fearless Flyers are an awesome group. This is one of my favorite tunes of theirs that introduces you to their jam.
Next time you percussionists are messing around and adding cymbals to the drum set and think you can't groove because you don't have enough floor toms... watch Nate Smith. Enough said. |

Check out this laid back funk groove, and watch Sandra Crouch absolutely slap on the tambourine.
This is how tambourine should be played on a funk chart. |

Signals Music Studio is an exceptionally well-done channel on YouTube that dives into chords, theory, and music in a way that is clear, concise, and really engaging.
