1. The Jazz Begins Written by Ponyo Fan
SpongeBob has transferred to a new high school, and has trouble making new friends. Then, he meets a girl named Sandy, who shares a similar interest in music with him. She takes him to her father's music store and shows him the back room, which her friend Patrick uses to practice jazz music. He automatically tests SpongeBob to see if he has music skills.
