Student Testimonials

7

Perhaps the best measure of

our impact is found in the very

favorable student remarks among

virtually all course evaluations.

Here are just a few examples of

the praise routinely earned by

the CJC and JCMS faculty.

“ I think Seward McCain is a brilliant teacher. He makes concrete suggestions that immediately improve student performance.” — EMMET EILAND

“Kasey Knudsen has a real knack for teaching at a level that’s comfortable for everyone in the class. Great to have professionals that can not only play at a very high level, but teach very professionally as well.” — CURTIS UEJO

“ Marcos Silva could play and demonstrate what was needed on EVERY instrument in the ensemble. It was challenging but worth it.” — NICK KOUTSOUKIS

“Ellen Johnson is terrific. Very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, challenging and encouraging — a perfect blend. Overall, on a scale of 1 to 10, I give Ellen an 11.” — ANONYMOUS

“I do not think I could have made it this far, both artistically and professionally, without the support and encouragement of the superb Jazzschool instructors.” — ANDREA CLABURN

“ You have a real gem in Jennifer Jolly!!!!” — BRENDA PADDON

“Rob Ewing took inert lumps of clay, molded them into musician-shaped figurines, breathed life into them, and now they can play music together in a group — a feat nothing short of miraculous. I stand in awe.” — ANONYMOUS

“Mimi Fox is like a national treasure. We’re so lucky to have her… Anything she chooses to teach, I’m there.” — JOE COHEN

“I like the Jazzschool because the faculty is top notch. My bandmates have commented on how my playing has improved.” — LUIS ROJAS

“Frank Martin is a beast (in the best way). He is the man.” — ANONYMOUS

“Peter Horvath is a phenomenal jazz pianist and an excellent teacher. I feel very fortunate to be learning from such a sophisticated player.” — LENA JOHNSON

“THE JAZZSCHOOL HAS

REALLY HELPED MY PLAYING.

I CAN’T RECOMMEND IT ENOUGH.

THE SCHOOL IS A GREAT VALUE!

YOU CAN’T GO WRONG.”

— MICHAEL MENDUNO

“This school is truly a blessing. You aren’t just taught by professional teachers who play music, you’re taught by professional musicians who teach!” — DYLAN HABEGGER

SUMMER 2014 CALENDAR

Dear students and parents,We’re looking forward to this summer, when all the

young players who are normally in school can spend

10–12 hours a day practicing. (Just kidding, parents!)

Seriously, it’s a time when students can dial up their

practice regimen, learn new tunes, get together, jam

and have fun. The Jazzschool has three summer

programs for young musicians to work with fantastic

instructors and play with other talented students.

Our Summer Youth Program for grades 7–10, led by Julian Pollack, Howard Wiley and Jackie

Rago, is divided into two weeklong sessions where students participate in daily ensembles

(jazz, Latin, groove), receive private lessons, take part in workshops and performances with

visiting guest artists, and are featured in concert at the end of each 5-day session.

The Girls’ Jazz and Blues Camp, produced by Montclair Women’s Big Band co-directors Jean

Fineberg and Ellen Seeling, provides a supportive musical environment where girls have fun

and develop self-confidence. Campers hone improvisational, technical and ensemble skills

while meeting new friends and creating music with other young musicians.

For older, more advanced students, there is the High School Summer Intensive, led by Dr.

Michael Zilber. It is a weeklong workshop where a top-notch high school band is chosen by

audition, an established professional (who plays the same instrument) mentors each student,

and the combo is featured in a concert at the end of the week.

Our programs also provide great playing opportunities at venues including Yoshi’s Oakland,

Freight and Salvage, the Sound Room, Piedmont Piano Company and the Yerba Buena Center

for the Arts, to name a few. The Jazzschool High School Studio Band recently earned second

place in their division at the Next Generation Jazz Festival in Monterey!

Please note that auditions for the 2014-15 school year will happen in late August. As always,

feel free to reach me at ejekabson@cjc.edu with questions.

Young Musicians Program

FACULTY PROFILE Julian PollackOriginally from Berkeley, New York-based pianist Julian Pollack has been an ensemble director of the Jazzschool Summer Youth Program for five years now. We spoke with him recently for a Q&A session.

When did you first begin to focus on playing and writing music?

I started studying at the Jazzschool

when I was 10 years old, which really

jump-started my focus on music. I

also went to the Crowden School in

Berkeley for middle school, where

every morning started with two hours

of classical music. While at Berkeley

High, I became certain that I wanted

to pursue a musical career.

When did you begin teaching?

The Jazzschool gave me my first

teaching opportunity in summer 2007,

with private lessons at the Summer

Youth Program. I also attended New

York University, where I got my

master’s degree in jazz studies and

developed many teaching skills. A few

years ago, I began to direct ensembles

at the Jazzschool Summer Youth

Program and it was a great fit!

How do you approach teaching students that are playing different instruments?

I am a pianist, so working with students

who play other instruments can be

challenging sometimes. However, my

NYU degree is in composition, so I

understand how these instruments

work. If a student has a question that

I can’t answer, I can always call on any

of the other musicians working at the

Jazzschool to help.

What do you enjoy about teaching at the Jazzschool?

I really love the energy of the kids and

the rate at which they learn. It’s incredibly

inspiring. There’s also something special

about Bay Area kids... so many of them are

immensely talented. The future of jazz is

bright with young people from around here!

What advice do you have for young musicians?

If you have the bug for playing music, don’t

let anything get in the way of it! Practice,

practice, practice, of course. And take

advantage of all the resources around

you, easy in the Bay Area

What projects are you professionally involved in now?

I play with great musicians in New York and

I’m involved in many projects and tours. I’ve

been leading my own trio for years and we

recently released an album on the German

label Berthold Records. As of late, I’ve

been very into electronic music and have

been stepping up my synth game as well.

Young Musicians Program

FACULTY PROFILE Julian PollackOriginally from Berkeley, New York-based pianist Julian Pollack has been an ensemble director of the Jazzschool Summer Youth Program for five years now. We spoke with him recently for a Q&A session.

When did you first begin to focus on playing and writing music?

I started studying at the Jazzschool

when I was 10 years old, which really

jump-started my focus on music. I

also went to the Crowden School in

Berkeley for middle school, where

every morning started with two hours

of classical music. While at Berkeley

High, I became certain that I wanted

to pursue a musical career.

When did you begin teaching?

The Jazzschool gave me my first

teaching opportunity in summer 2007,

with private lessons at the Summer

Youth Program. I also attended New

York University, where I got my

master’s degree in jazz studies and

developed many teaching skills. A few

years ago, I began to direct ensembles

at the Jazzschool Summer Youth

Program and it was a great fit!

How do you approach teaching students that are playing different instruments?

I am a pianist, so working with students

who play other instruments can be

challenging sometimes. However, my

NYU degree is in composition, so I

understand how these instruments

work. If a student has a question that

I can’t answer, I can always call on any

of the other musicians working at the

Jazzschool to help.

What do you enjoy about teaching at the Jazzschool?

I really love the energy of the kids and

the rate at which they learn. It’s incredibly

inspiring. There’s also something special

about Bay Area kids... so many of them are

immensely talented. The future of jazz is

bright with young people from around here!

What advice do you have for young musicians?

If you have the bug for playing music, don’t

let anything get in the way of it! Practice,

practice, practice, of course. And take

advantage of all the resources around

you, easy in the Bay Area

What projects are you professionally involved in now?

I play with great musicians in New York and

I’m involved in many projects and tours. I’ve

been leading my own trio for years and we

recently released an album on the German

label Berthold Records. As of late, I’ve

been very into electronic music and have

been stepping up my synth game as well.

THEORY & IMPROVISATION

THE LANGUAGE OF JAZZ newHARMONY with Greg JohnsonSaxophonist Greg Johnson explains of

some of the more chromatic sounding

tonalities (e.g., the altered scale, half-whole

diminished scale and lydian dominant) and

a creative system for practicing them.

Exercises are incorporated into composi-

tions, on which students are invited to play

(optional). Every great jazz musician has

the ability to “be the band” and portray the

elements of time, harmony and melody by

themselves. This system gives students a

way to develop these skills. Handouts from

The Language of Jazz Harmony text will be

THEORY & IMPROVISATION

THE LANGUAGE OF JAZZ newHARMONY with Greg JohnsonSaxophonist Greg Johnson explains of

some of the more chromatic sounding

tonalities (e.g., the altered scale, half-whole

diminished scale and lydian dominant) and

a creative system for practicing them.

Exercises are incorporated into composi-

tions, on which students are invited to play

(optional). Every great jazz musician has

the ability to “be the band” and portray the

elements of time, harmony and melody by

themselves. This system gives students a

way to develop these skills. Handouts from

The Language of Jazz Harmony text will be

provided. Prerequisites: basic knowledge of jazz theory and facility with scales.
