Currently, our jazz program enrollment is at full capacity; unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate non-jazz majors in our combos and big bands at this time.

However, we are offering a section for non-jazz majors; interested students should register for:

EMUS 1427-5427-002
Tuesdays only, 6:35-8:05 p.m.,��Imig Music Building, E160

This will be a non-performing “lab” class where non-majors can work on improvisation, jazz theory, style, reading and repertoire.��

Questions? Contact Thompson Jazz Studies Program Director John Gunther,��john.gunther@colorado.edu.

Information for jazz majors

We will not be holding ensemble auditions. You will be placed in a big band and combo. ��

Combos

Everyone should enroll in a combo (Thursdays, 6:35-8:05 p.m.).�� ��

Combo course #��(choose the appropriate number depending on your year):
EMUS 1437–001
EMUS 3437–001
EMUS 5437–001 (Grads may or may not enroll, depending on advisement ... but you’ll still play!)

Big bands

We have two big bands. One is a repertory band focusing on style, major composers, sight-reading, etc.; the other is a composer’s orchestra focusing on your composition, faculty and contemporary composers. One meets on Tuesdays and the other meets on Thursdays,��both from 4:45-6:15 p.m.; halfway through the semester, you'll switch. On the days you are not meeting as a big band, you are meeting as sections ... so you’ll be busy on both Tuesdays and Thursdays. ��

All horn players should enroll in big band, as well as��drums, bass, piano and guitar. Thompson Jazz Studies Program Director John Gunther��will let you know if you are in a big band this fall. We’ll be assigning two rhythm sections to each band (four total) and then switch it up in the spring to make sure everyone gets a chance to play. ����
