Sign up for Surrey Jazz Nights next workshop on Sunday, November 22, from 2:00-4:00pm at the Surrey Libraries Strawberry Hill Branch.
This session will provide participants with skills to understand jazz leadsheets. It is not a requirement to have participated in previous Surrey Jazz Nights Workshops to attend this session.
This workshop will be facilitated by Julian Borkowski who is a local Surrey jazz trumpeter and pianist. Julian will guide participants through how to read and interpret a jazz lead sheet as it relates to their specific instrument.
Topics will include understanding the flexibility and freedoms of a lead sheet, recognizing common jazz chord progressions, and learning how to solo or accompany effectively. Participants will also explore how a lead sheet can be used to shape an entire performance of a song.
