ColaJazz partners with Community in Schools SC to ColaJazz partners with Community in Schools SC to bring Jazz Appreciation concerts to our young people. This week, ColaJazz presented an authentic jazz club experience for the 3rd graders at Sandel Elementary! The creative teachers at Sandel and the CISSC Coordinator, created a jazz club atmosphere for their 3rd graders. ColaJazz treated the kids as if they were an audience at a real jazz club, but we also added some educational tidbits of jazz history. Your donations and our growing members make this possible. Keep spreading the word! We need you to be able to do more. @cisofsc @communitiesinschools

Here’s what they had to say… ⁠ ⁠ 1. For improvisation, one of the best approaches for me is not to overthink about what I’m going to play. ⁠ ⁠ 2. Acknowledge the audience and let them know that you are grateful to have them. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Stop trying to be like your heroes be YOU! ⁠ ⁠ 3. Mix up your song selection. Combine what you want to play with and what you know is accessible for the audience. That means knowing your audience.⁠ ⁠ - Eric Jones, Savannah Jazz Hall of Fame Pianist @ravelmusiclover⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ DON’T MISS A BEAT: ⁠ https://colajazz.com/newsletter⁠ ⁠ BE A COOL CAT MEMBER OF COLAJAZZ: ⁠ https://colajazz.com/join⁠ ⁠ MAKE A ONE-TIME DONATION: ⁠ https://colajazz.com/suport⁠

I created this fundraiser to support ColaJazz's ef I created this fundraiser to support ColaJazz's efforts to bring live, jazz music to the residents of Lexington Medical Extended Care Facility. "The ColaJazz Foundation has become our most popular enrichment activity. The great reviews of the ColaJazz Foundation have traveled amongst the residents, and now our residents who usually retreat in their room are excited to come to the Community Center to listen to the Jazz music. The ColaJazz Foundation brings so much joy to our residents' lives, and we are beyond grateful and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts." - Director of Volunteer Services, Lexington Medical Center Extended Care
