Region Jazz Day – April 6th, 2027
Region Jazz Day is a professional development experience designed to equip jazz directors with practical strategies for preparing students for All-Region and All-State Jazz auditions. Directors and students will explore jazz performance practices, tone and equipment considerations, audition material, and effective approaches to teaching improvisation. The day will provide actionable resources and techniques that can be implemented immediately in classroom and rehearsal settings.
This session will be led by Region Jazz Coordinator, Rex Novak, at Sunnyvale High School. Please contact him if you have questions. Rex.novak@sunnyvaleisd.com
