About this Event

Happening every Wednesday from 5:30-7:00PM at The Center for Musical Arts in Sacramento, the Shed Sessions are a way to learn jazz one tune at a time. Lead by Daniel J Owens and Nate Furgason, we choose a tune at the beginning of every month to dissect and learn top to bottom.

This month's tune: "There Will Never Be Another You"

We talk about things like theory, improvisation, and exercises you can do at home to improve. We meet every Wednesday of the month leading up to the Jam Session on the last Wednesday.

The Shed Sessions are a way to meet other musicians, learn about the history of jazz, and learn the music. The tunes are a list of frequently called tunes at jam sessions and college auditions.



WHAT WILL WE LEARN?

A few of the things we’ll cover at the sessions:

  • Scales
  • Ear Training
  • Theory
  • Chords
  • Melodies
  • Improvisation



JAM SESSION

The last session of the month is where things get exciting! The Jam Session is where we can put what we’ve learned to the test.

Unlike other sessions where we focus on fundamentals, the Jam is less instruction and more performance. Be ready to bring your soloing stuff!

  • “All of Me”
  • “All the Things You Are”
  • “Autumn Leaves”
  • “Caravan”
  • “Four”
  • “Freddie Freeloader”
  • “Have You Met Miss Jones”
  • “I Could Write a Book”
  • “It Could Happen To You”
  • “It Don’t Mean a Thing”
  • “Just Friends”
  • “Lady Bird”
  • “Like Someone in Love”
  • “On Green Dolphin Street”
  • “On The Sunny Side of the Street”
  • “Softly As In A Morning Sunrise”
