U of M Jazz Band visits IMHS
We are incredibly grateful to the University of Michigan Jazz Band and the amazing Director Ellen Rowe for visiting IMHS today! It was a truly special experience for our music students, who had the unique opportunity to participate in a jazz clinic led by some of the finest musicians and educators in the field.
Throughout the day, our students engaged in meaningful musical growth—exploring jazz techniques, improvisation, and ensemble skills under the guidance of Director Rowe and the talented U of M students. The energy, knowledge, and passion they brought to our school were absolutely inspiring.
To top it all off, the visit culminated in a phenomenal joint performance featuring both the IMHS Jazz Band and the U of M Jazz Band. The collaboration between the two groups was not only musically impressive but also a beautiful example of how music brings people together across generations and schools.
Thank you again to Ellen Rowe and the U of M Jazz Band for sharing your time, talents, and mentorship with us. This is a day our students won’t soon forget!
