The SMART Foundation is beginning a community program this
month to develop Middle School musicians by playing in an Ensemble called Mission
Viejo Jazz Factory.
The class begins Wednesday, January 23rd from 6-8P and will
continue on Wednesday evenings until May 22nd. The class includes 6-8th
graders each Wednesday evening. Classes will be held in Mission Viejo at the
Potocki Center. Location of the Potocki Center is 27301 La
Paz Rd, Mission Viejo, CA 92692.
Students will learn to play multiple jazz styles including
Rock, Funk, Blues, Latin and Swing. Local jazz professionals including Tony
Guerrero and Saddleback Jazz Director Joey Sellers will provide clinics.
The class instructor will be Chris Clark. Chris is the CEO
for SMART and has a professional background as a trombone player. He has a
wealth of experience and knowledge about instrumental jazz. He also leads the
SMART Jazz Execs group that performs at events to help support the SMART
Foundation. More about Mr. Clark’s music background is available to read here
