The New Mexico Jazz Workshop (NMJW)
has a long history of presenting
the finest jazz, blues, and salsa
in the state of New Mexico. What began in 1976 as a grassroots organization presenting a few
Sunday afternoon concerts in
The Oscar Huber Memorial Ballpark in Madrid, NM, now plays a critical role in enhancing the
cultural vitality that makes
our state great. Much is in store for the New Mexico Jazz Workshop in the coming year! Adult classes, Youth Orchestra, and of course Salsa and Jazz & Blues Under the Stars.

Jazz Education Programs
All classes are taught by the Outpost team comprising saxophonist, Kanoa Kaluhiwa; drummer, Sharon Eldridge; and trumpeter, Paul Gonzales. We aim to build positive attitudes, trust, teamwork, cooperation, confidence, compassion, and a sense of humor—everything you could ever want from music. Both Youth and Adults will perform a recital for family and friends at the end of their second session. It is expected that students will have their own instruments to bring to class. Outpost will provide a piano, a drumset, and guitar & bass amplifiers.
FALL 2010 JAZZ CLASS SCHEDULE
Monday,Tuesday & Wednesday Afternoons
September 13th - November 17th
Jazz Improvisation Classes for Youth
Ages: Up to (and including) High School Senior
Class Limit: 12 (minimum of 5 is required)
Taught by Kanoa Kaluhiwa, Sharon Eldridge & Paul Gonzales
The afternoon Jazz Improvisation classes taught by Paul Gonzales, and Sharon Eldridge focus on the rudiments of music and improvisation including rhythmic training, scale work, form in music, and musical improvisation. Students are invited to express themselves freely on their respective instruments as well as on percussion instruments. The emphasis is on musical expression as an individual in a group setting. Each teacher has a slightly different approach and our goal is to place together, students of similar levels as well as to form a balanced ensemble in terms of instrumentation. Advanced Level classes taught by Kanoa Kaluhiwa focus more specifically on the jazz repertoire, covering music theory, ear training, solo development, song forms, and various rhythm section approaches. ALL classes aim to build positive attitudes, trust, teamwork, cooperation, confidence, compassion, and a sense of humor—skills and values which will serve participants well beyond the workshop and throughout their entire educations and lives. Fun will be had by all!
Participants must bring their own instruments to class (piano, drums and amps will be provided). Come a few minutes early to the first class to register.
Tuesday & Wednesday Evenings
Sept. 14th - Nov. 17th
Jazz Improvisation Classes for Adults
Taught by Kanoa Kaluhiwa & Paul Gonzales,
the Jazz Improvisation Classes for Adults focus specifically on jazz and cover music theory, ear training, solo development, song forms and various rhythm section approaches. Our goal is to provide a truly quality experience for small ensembles comprising adults of similar abilities. All classes aim to build positive attitudes, trust, teamwork cooperation, confidence, compassion and a sense of humor. While a certain proficiency on instruments is expected, this class is for aspiring musicians, retired or rusty musicians, closet jazz fanatics, those who want to learn more about jazz—in short, if you want to be there, we want you and a good time will be had by all. The final class will feature a recital by the students.
Participants must bring their own instruments to class (piano, drums and amps will be provided)
