Adult musicians with at least 1 year of experience on their instrument are invited to hone their skills in performance, improvisation and music literacy while networking with potential collaborators and passing a good time in a light, supportive atmosphere. Under the direction of acclaimed musician-educator Khari Allen Lee (KhariAllenLee.com), this 6-week course and concert will explore hits by artists such as Louis Armstrong, Louis Prima, Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald. While music reading is not a requirement it will be helpful; lead sheets for all tunes will be provided.

Participants must provide their own instruments and/or amps with the exception of keyboard and drums which will be available on site. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you attempt to register and it says that your instrument of choice is sold out please call 504-942-7606 or email musiclabnola@gmail.com right away and we'll see if we can accommodate you!

Because attendance is critical for both the individual and the ensemble to get the most out of the experience, registrants must commit to all six rehearsal dates as well as the concert performance. Questions? Email info@musicollaborative.org or call 504-942-7606.

Proceeds will benefit Musicollaborative's children's programs to assist in the purchase of new instruments and support the scholarship fund.
