LAB JAZZ CHOIR AND VOCAL JAZZ ENSEMBLE FINAL:

For your final assessment, please select one jazz standard of your choice to perform for the class.  You will perform this piece during the "Final Exam" Jazz Choir period.  Please note, if you have a health final to take during the Final Exam period, you will need to perform your jazz standard on our last regular class period.

Some examples of Jazz Standards to choose:

All of Me

Like Someone In Love

Autumn Leaves

My Foolish Heart

I Thought About You

There Will Never Be Another You

Misty

Here's That Rainy Day

My One and Only Love

I will accompany you on piano.  I will want you to explain to me how you want to perform the piece (ex. one time through with a piano intro etc).  You will also need to count off your tune so you will need to decide what tempo you want to take and what style. 

Before you perform, please share with the class an example of one or two reference recordings, and talk a little about the tune (share details--who wrote it, what year, what style is it, etc)

Best of luck in all of your finals!
