Jazz Ensemble II is the second large jazz ensemble at Tarleton. This ensemble is the training ground for Jazz Ensemble I. This ensemble focuses on solidifying jazz fundamentals (style, time-feel, ensemble playing) and getting students comfortable improvising. In general, it is more geared towards students that have solid playing foundations on their instruments and are looking to elevate their jazz playing.
