Student Testimonials

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 [email protected] 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.

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
provided. Prerequisites: basic knowledge of jazz theory and facility with scales.
Sunday, July 13, 2 – 4pm$30 advance • $45 day of workshop
Currently a doctoral student serving on a teaching fellowship at the USC Thornton School of Music, Greg Johnson has worked steadily in Los Angeles as a saxophonist, composer and jazz educator.

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

The Language of Jazz Harmony text will be
provided. Prerequisites: basic knowledge of jazz theory and facility with scales.
