Jazz

If your school has a developing or successful jazz program, you may be interested in having a new work written just for your band. Perhaps you'd like to get your kids excited by having a new piece written for the next concert, or you're preparing for a performance at a state convention, or you have a soloist that you'd like to feature. Contact Shawn to talk about having a piece written for your band.
