"If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know." Today, the whole Middle School went on a learning journey to the M.A.C.C to learn about the genre, jazz. The spokesperson and singer/songwriter was Halie Loren. She introduced herself and told us a little of her background. Growing up, her major influences were her parent's music and listening to the public radio. Halie is an internationally recognized artist with her band, Matt, and Trevor. Halie told us that any song could be changed into a jazz style and sang us an example, "Over the Rainbow" by Judy Garland. Her voice depicted elegance and beauty. You could see her body gestures flow freely to the roots of the song and her emotions were symbolized through her movements. I am not a big fan of jazz but I enjoyed the experience and was captivated by her performance full of charisma.
