Jazz-Rock Guitar was introduced this year by the Music Department to provide further instructional op- portunities for advanced guitarists. In order to take the class, you had to have passed Guitar I or an audition. At the end of every quarter, the class was ask- ed to do a special project. The students either chose a favorite song or used an original composi- tion to perform in front of the class. Teachers from colleges, other high schools, or from private institutions were brought in to in- struct special workshops for the class of twelve. During the year, the classes’ main goal was to buy a set of drums for the class. Throughout the year Jazz-Rock Guitar used their talent to show that this new class was tops. 3 eeee 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3. 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 oeeeee© 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 S©©4 Music, Drama, and Art 279

Students played a variety of songs, from pop to classical. Miss Slosky brought in talented guests to instruct special workshops for the class. During each quarter, students were asked to do a special project. For several weeks, the students picked and practiced their music, and at last presented it to the class. Most of the students joined to learn to play, read music, play chords, or just to become more proficient on the guitar. At the end of the school year, guitar students felt a sense of fulfillment as they recalled the years activities and ac- complishments : ©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©© Natalie Bischoff warms up in her Guitar II class.
