Mini-Festival is an all-day workshop & rehearsal. Students work in groups with their current teacher along with visiting guest artists to refine their musical strengths & stretch to build new skills. Ensemble playing, improv, chord playing, rhythm building and singing all come together around a “Song of the Festival” which have included “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” “Apple Pie Blues” and “Happy Birthday.” The day’s activities culminate in an afternoon public recital showcasing solos from each student, small ensembles, and a big group jam at the end on the “Song of the Festival.”
